Search Engine Optimization (SEO) plays a big part in online marketing. SEO is more then a decade old. Unlike being in social media platforms where is constantly updated with new content 24/7 nonstop, it will result being search itself purposely. Search results works in a way that someone or even the targeted customer google it out to find more information or motivated to do something more. Many companies want to make sure that they are on the top of the results. Google have trending search results like a leader board. It will tell people what is the most search topic.

SEO has some issues too.  While bigger companies benefit from being to the top search result, small and medium does not. These smaller companies are not market leaders or among the top 10 in their respective industry. Google is known to give the best results. So when a customer or any potential someone always searched for the best or the top results in anything. Almost all companies in the top 10 have a huge number of brand searches and backlinks. Big companies get mentioned in the news or in the TV, their brands have more consumers searching for them.
