In fact, more than 90% of online experiences begin with a search engine, and the top search results receive the majority of clicks. This is why SEO is critical for businesses and organizations that want to succeed in the digital world.
 
SEO is essential because it enables websites to rank higher in search results pages, making it easier for people to find them. A higher ranking in search results can increase a website's visibility, traffic, and ultimately, revenue. SEO can also help businesses and organizations establish their authority, credibility, and reputation in their respective industries.<ref>{{Cite web |title=What is SEO and how it works |url=https://www.viralseotools.com/blog/what-is-seo-and-how-it-works |access-date=2023-03-10 |website=ViralSEOTools.com}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |last=SEO Tools |first=Small |date=02/20/2023 |title=Small SEO Tools - Optimize your site for free! |url=https://www.viralseotools.com/ |url-status=live}}</ref>
