How Can SEO Actually Help My Business Get Found Online?

If you’ve ever asked, “Do I really need SEO?” — you’re not alone. As a small business owner, SEO (Search Engine Optimization) can feel mysterious or overwhelming. But the truth is, good SEO helps your dream clients find you when they’re searching for what you offer — without paid ads or social media burnout.

At Ramp Design Co, I build SEO strategy right into every website. Here’s how it works — and why it matters.

What You’ll Learn

  • What SEO actually is (in plain English)

  • How it helps your website show up on Google

  • Simple steps to start improving your SEO today

What Is SEO?

SEO is the process of making your website easier for search engines (like Google) to understand and show to people who are looking for businesses like yours.

It’s how someone searching “photographer in Wichita” ends up on your site instead of a competitor’s.

Why SEO Matters for Small Businesses

  • Increases your visibility on Google

  • Brings in organic traffic (aka people who are already searching for your service)

  • Builds long-term credibility and trust

  • Helps you compete without needing a big ad budget

If your website isn’t optimized for search, it’s like having a storefront without a sign.

SEO Basics Every Business Website Needs

  1. Page Titles & Meta Descriptions

    • These are the previews that show up on Google. Make them clear and keyword-rich.

  2. Headings (H1, H2, etc.)

    • Help search engines understand what your page is about.

  3. Keywords

    • Use the words your clients are actually typing into Google — like “wedding planner Kansas City” or “yoga teacher for beginners.”

  4. Fast, Mobile-Friendly Design

    • Google favors sites that load quickly and look great on phones.

  5. Image Optimization

    • Add alt text that describes your images and includes keywords when appropriate.

Bonus SEO Boosters

  • Blog regularly with helpful content

  • Use internal links to connect your pages

  • Get listed in Google Business Profile (free!)

  • Share your content on Pinterest for added reach
