Companies that appear in the first page of search results have more credibility, and thus convert a greater % of visitors.
When people searching for the product or service you offer find you higher up on search results are more likely to buy from you.
Researchers have found that the actual % of closed business from leads generated on Page One is higher.
For example, for every 1,000 leads generated on page one, you might convert 1.3% to sales, and for every 1,000 leads generated from page seven, you might generate 1.0% to sales.
This means not only that you get more visitors when you appear on the first page of search results, but your company gains more credibility for having appearing there.
