What a question! Why is search engine optimisation necessary?
Answer: Because you want to be found on the Internet.
Many website operators take a disillusioned look at the number of visitors to their website and ask themselves why their site is not being found.
But when you realise that there are 11.5 million search results on Google for the term "mineral water", for example, you no longer need to be surprised.
So: If you want to be found on the Internet, you need to do SEO. Quite simply. There is no way around it. Otherwise you have no chance of surviving the competition.
