When someone searches “best vegan donut shop near me,” Google plays fishing and forestry email list matchmaker between that query and the websites most likely to satisfy that need. Keywords are the link. If you run a vegan donut shop, and your site never says “vegan donut” (for reasons known only to the SEO gods), search engines have no clue you’re relevant to that query. So, you lose a potential customer… boo.
