By improving a site's ranking, SEO increases the likelihood of attracting more visitors. This is crucial in web development as it ensures that the website reaches its target audience effectively.

These improvements enhance the user experience, making visitors more likely to stay longer, engage with the content, and return in the future.

It enhances visibility, improves user experience, and provides a cost- effective way to attract and retain visitors. By building credibility and gaining a competitive advantage, SEO ensures that a website not only reaches its target audience but also stands out in the crowded digital landscape.
