We all understand the power of search engines, like Google or Bing. They present us with results that are most relevant to the search terms we enter. For instance, if you search for "eggless brownie recipes," you won't be shown "egg fried rice recipes," even though both contain the words "recipe" and "egg."

When it comes to optimising your website for search engine optimisation (SEO), you need to create content that aligns with the keywords or phrases your customers are searching for. Otherwise, you're investing valuable time and effort into work that goes unseen.

When it comes down to it, if the customer doesn’t purchase your product or service, nothing else matters. You may have a great idea or offering, but if you can’t get customers to notice you and purchase, then you’re in trouble.

It’s important to remember that marketing is not just advertising, or selling, or persuading. It's about having the right combination of smart strategy, a thorough understanding of who is actually buying your product or service and a brand story that opens all the right doors. 

The secret to marketing that works is the science of what makes your customers buy and an actionable plan to reach your ideal customers with the right message, at the right place, and at the right time.
