Why Is Link Building Important to Businesses?

When a prospective customer enters a query into a search engine, the search engine needs to determine how to return the best results. Effective link building assists in the development of the link profile of the site and the web pages being evaluated. The links to the web page are like a vote of "relevance" for the web page. Basically, if your competitor has an equally relevant page for a given search term or keyword, your web page with a better inbound link profile will rank higher than your competitor page.

This will allow your business to reallocate marketing dollars and efforts to other search terms. It may also reduce the cost of your current search engine marketing campaign by improving your organic (non paid) search results for keywords critical to sales and lead generation. No Search Engine Optimization project is complete without Link Building.
