We told you that your Tech guy should know the term SEO and for good reason. Search engine optimization, SEO, is essential for a thriving website. If you want to be found on the web, you NEED to optimize your website!
We understand that you may not know what it is or need a little help and that's understandable. Optimizing your website is no easy feat. Unfortunately for you, there is no "drag and drop" solution to SEO. It takes hard work, insight and TIME; which most small business owners don't have much to spare. Can I get a AMEN? 
But if you won't take our word for it,or you're still a little skeptical about SEO, read what 221 "eMarketers" had to say about why SEO is so important at businessinsider.com:
SEO Priorities
Marketers plan to focus on link building as their top priority in the next 12 months, with 42 percent stating that it is their top SEO focus. Changes to website pages to ensure they are more SEO friendly were the highest priority for 22 percent, while 21 percent plan to focus on social media integration. Site-based optimization (such as sitemaps and navigation) was the main focus for only 15 percent. There are two notable conclusions that you draw about these findings:
1) Marketers have taken on board the changes made over recent months by Google to prioritize quality and diversity of links in search results over the content itself.
2) Social media integration is unexpectedly high. While social media is hot for marketers, in SEO terms this is really cutting edge stuff, and it signals that marketers have recognized the importance of social media in driving traffic. In particular, Facebook’s social plugins, including the easy to implement ‘Like’ button, are beginning to be viewed as a simple ‘social SEO toolkit.’
See? We're not pulling your leg. SEO and a successful website go hand-in-hand just like the Prince and Princess at the end of every Disney Movie!
