**The goal is to not only optimize your website for search engines, but to also optimize your website for your visitors.**

It first starts with an understanding of the type of people you want to find your website. Once those particular individuals find your website, you want to *keep them* on your site.

**Optimization is about creating a world-class website experience through clear content, user-friendly design, and keyword optimization.**

Optimizing your website is all about setting your site up for success. Optimization being in the **"*Attract Stage"* **of the Inbound Marketing Methodology, allows you to attract visitors with the goal of converting them into customers.

**Attracting visitors involves:**

- Understanding your ideal customer Demographics and Goals

- Select quality keywords that your ideal customers use when searching

Once you are able to identify who your target customers are, you then need to create a user-friendly website experience that speaks to them (and search engines).

- Use language that they are comfortable with/easily understood

- Create marketing content and offers that interest them 
    - **Simple**
    - **Color schemes**
    - **Images**

- Guide them throughout a specific path on your website 
    - **Easy navigation**

- Create **Call-To-Action buttons**

Optimizing your website for buyer personas and search engines can open up many opportunities for your business or organiztion through inbound marketing.
