Today's consumer buying process for many consumers starts with on-line activity - often involving search to find the relevant reviews or price comparisons. Since research has shown that across industries 'organic traffic accounts for 94% of clickthroughs' on the search results, it's clearly important for larger businesses with a complex product portfolio to compete through SEO.
