Improvement in User Experience

Your website needs to focus more on the user experience part as search engines rank websites based on user experience. Search Engine Rankings are very important because they directly impact your website’s visibility to the users. You need to understand what users or your potential customers are searching for on Google or Bing (or any other search engines for that matter).

If a user visits your link and has a good experience with it, they will be satisfied with your website and may even promote you through word of mouth or social media. On the contrary, users facing problems on your website may criticize it on social media and through word of mouth in which case you will lose credibility and user base as well as ranking.

Google continuously monitors user behavior which also includes their time spent on any and all pages or sites, bounce rates, and more through which it makes a decision on whether a user had a good experience visiting the said page or site. Through this, Google ranks these websites according to their ranking which makes it very crucial for businesses.

Website Traffic

SEO targets those users who make search queries related to your industry or domain making them relevant and high-quality traffic for your business.

SEO focuses more on customer experience and thus helps us acquire relevant traffic without annoying them. 

A very popular example of a search engine is Google which handles more than 60000 search queries per second on a daily basis which means anyone who has a PC or a smartphone and an internet connection globally visits their site to make queries at least once a day.
