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.
Wenn man sich aber einmal vor Augen hält, dass es z.B. für den Begriff „Mineralwasser“ 11,5 Mio Suchergebnisse bei Google gibt, dann braucht man sich nicht mehr darüber zu wundern.
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.
