The only time to even ponder this question is if you would like your website to attract sales or interest from clients who do not know you and are seeking your goods or services over the internet. If your website is purely an information service for existing customers then the answer is obviously a straight forward no, you require no Online Marketing.

If you do wish your website to work that way then you need to establish if you need optimization, or if your site is good enough in that arena already. The best place to begin your study is with your competitors and their listing, compared to you, on the internet search engine results list.

Choose your typical internet search engine, think about your sector and come up with a few quite specific words or phrases that describe loosely what products or services you offer. Then insert these into the search engine one at a time and note which of your competitors are normally listed on that first page of results. Also examine each page in turn until you see your own website details ( if this does not appear after the first 10 pages of results you can stop looking!).

At this point you will be able to gage if your position is a lot lower that the competition or not. If not, and you are listed up there on page 1 of the results then either you have a quite specific item, virtually no competitors or your site is already optimized to the correct level. Do double check at this stage that you have not chosen a very specific keyword or phrase for your test as this will skew results dramatically and give you a guarantee good Search Engine Placement!

If you have found your website way down the listings, or indeed you have not identified your site at all in the first 10 pages then some online promotion in the form of search engine optimization may be worth purchasing.

There are professional firms out there who will help you to develop your positioning in the search results and this is crucial for a decent amount of business. All the firms currently sitting on page one of the search results will be a magnet for the attention of at least 85% of the searching clients and provided that they do actually offer what their potential customer wants they will almost definitely get the business. The customer will certainly not be sifting through page after page of search results when his requirement is right there on page one.

The SEO Company can make sure that your positioning improves over the period of a month or two and the benefits should then make themselves plain.
