SEO - Basically how you optimize your website alongside contents to bring your website up the Search Engine Results Page (SERP). Landing on Higher SERP for specific keywords usually brings in high volume of quality leads from Search Engines.
CRO - Optimizing your website/landing page to increase the conversion rates from the traffic on your website be it filling up the contact form, making an eCommerce purchase, or downloading an information pack.
New Websites
Let's face it, most new websites don't get the traffic new website operators want. Usually promised by web agencies that a website is their portal to the world, a new website(there are exceptions) needs significant work and effort before it'll get the love from their targeted audience. So for new websites, CRO work that yields rate of conversion would not be significant as there is usually a low level a traffic to the website. For new websites, SEO is recommended alongside social media marketing to bring quality leads into the website. Here is a great article from Moz talking how SEO can help build brand authority.
In the quest for new websites to establish a formidable online presence, a comprehensive strategy encompasses not only Conversion Rate Optimization (CRO) and SEO but also the strategic integration of backlinks. Just as CRO aims to refine user experiences and SEO bolsters visibility, the synergy of niche edit links offers an invaluable dimension to this digital equation. Backlinks, akin to pathways between interconnected web domains, introduce authoritative referrals, guiding targeted traffic toward a new website's offerings. Particularly for websites in their infancy, this orchestrated approach—fusing CRO, SEO, and niche edit links—paves the way for a robust foundation, nurturing growth, and facilitating meaningful engagement with quality leads. As Moz's insightful article highlights the prowess of SEO in enhancing brand authority, the strategic integration of niche edit links acts as an influential catalyst, further amplifying a new website's trajectory toward online prominence and recognition.
