SEO is more than just just a source of traffic, it is also a highly cost-effective means of building brand awareness and authority.
High ranking articles on Google or other search engines, such as Bing and DuckDuckGo, give news sites prime real estate. In the end, strong SEO means content works day and night to attract new audiences from across the web and cement the brand’s position within the industry.
Unlike retailers, who make their money from on-site purchases, publishers’ revenue streams often consist of subscriptions, sponsored articles and ads. SEO helps generate increased website traffic and visits, creating new opportunities to sell subscriptions or drive ad engagement.
