A well-optimized site can lead to an increase in site traffic and brand visibility. That leaves many companies wondering whether search engine optimization (SEO) is a marketing strategy or an IT tool?

SEO as IT

The SEO a technical, multifaceted process. It requires expertise in research, website structure and programming. Some of the basic tasks include keywords identification, content created, link building and load times checked – all while staying abreast of industry best practices.

SEO is BOTH Marketing and IT
