We&#8217;re talking about people who are actively searching for the information or product you offer, right there in buying mode. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It&#8217;s like the difference between stopping someone on the street to pitch them your latest gadget and having them walk into your store because they saw your window display.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, social media can be a great way to connect with people, but let&#8217;s be honest, it&#8217;s a lot of work. You gotta constantly be pumping out content, and even then, there&#8217;s no guarantee those scrolling through their feeds are actually interested in what you have to offer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Studies show that organic search traffic converts at a much higher rate. Someone searching for &#8220;best air fryer for chips&#8221; is way further down the purchase funnel than someone mindlessly clicking through Facebook. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>They&#8217;re ready to buy, and that&#8217;s gold for any website owner.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sure, ranking organically might take some effort on your part \u2013 keyword research, optimizing your content, the whole SEO shebang. But trust me, the payoff is worth it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Don&#8217;t get discouraged if it feels like Google&#8217;s playing hard to get. Keep at it, focus on that organic search traffic, and watch those conversions climb.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, that&#8217;s my take. What are your thoughts? <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Let me know in the comments below if you&#8217;ve got any questions about SEO or ranking higher on Google. <\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Search traffic is just different from other traffic sources.
