Are you having problems getting traffic to your website?
Do you have a lot of content but no one seems to show up?
Do you know you need to do something about that website but don't have the time?
You probably need some Search Engine Optimization.
Google has fundamentally changed the way people find your business and services. Not long ago people searched the Yellow Pages to find a local business, now most people will search using Google-- and if you don't understand how Google evaluates your website, your site will not be found. It is important for your site to have search engine optimization (SEO) so when customers search for your services on the web, they find you, and not your competition. The goal of SEO is for search engines to be able to index your site and your business for things people search for. For example, if you are a coffee shop and you don't have the word coffee in your website, Google is not going to know you sell coffee.

Why is this important?
SEO helps search engines index your site based on keywords. When people search for a particular keyword or phrase, your website shows up in the results-- thus directing more web traffic your way.
Everyone understands that web traffic is a good thing. However, why traffic comes to some websites and not others can usually be attributed to SEO best practices. The infoograph below helps make sense of SEO.
