There are a lot of moving parts if you are trying to build your equipment sales — especially when it comes to selling equipment online.

If you have a website or are building a website to help you sell equipment, making sure that search engines, like Google, like your site can be a profitable investment.

When Google understands your website, it’s more likely to help people searching for equipment find it on your site. That type of traffic to your website is called “organic.”

Driving organic traffic to your website is key to overall growth.
