SEO stands for Search Engine Optimisation.
This is the process of making a web page appear in the first pages of the search engines. It involves altering the page and making it more search engine friendly (SEF) in addition with other ways that can lift it to the first pages of the search engines.
Why is it important
By the time you have finished making your new, shiny and professionall looking website, you want people to know about it.
In the real world, you could advertise in the media. But you can not guarantee that people will listen to that radio or watch that tv channel. Even if they do, will they stay to watch the ads? Nobody can guarantee that.
In an online world, the way of going around and finding things is to use the search engines. Usually people will not go after the first few pages of results. So it is important for your company to appear in the first few pages. Yet again if you think that the real world media could be better in any way; think again. What search engines get for you is targeted advertisement. SEO is just getting targeted advertisment for free.
How easy can it be? Is it worth to invest to it?
The easy factor of SEO is relevant. It can be trivial, or it can be quite hard. It is always a matter of the competitors, and how SEF is their site. Investing to it really can open up a successfull sales channel for your business. Customers out of nowhere. A salesman that you dont have to pay.
