Even as marketing budgets were being reevaluated and pared back due to the pandemic, more resources were allocated to SEO.

In fact, 50.5% of SEO budgets had increased in the 12 months preceding our recent State of SEO survey.

Why is that?

Well, for starters, search is a two-way channel of communication between brands and the customers they serve.

As such, search has emerged as an invaluable source of consumer insights throughout pandemic-related business interruptions.

Search is where people go to find solutions to their problems – where they describe the issue they’re having and evaluate their options.

(And if you’re not there as a solution, then what?)

Search has evolved from a single channel to the nerve center of insights – your nerve center of insights.

These insights not only serve your business’s marketing goals but can also provide the intelligence to inform research, product development, customer service, and more.

And yes, search is also one of the most effective marketing channels, with compounding returns on your investments in technical SEO and optimized content.

As a marketing leader, how can you capitalize on these opportunities to gain visibility, quality traffic, and leads that ultimately impact the bottom line?
