Sometimes, the second best gives more than what the first rank can, who may only be in the position because they follow the rules to be there. But remember, they’re not the best; they just happened to be the first.

Be The First: It’s Human Nature But It’s An Old-school Thinking

If there’s one thing that SEO has embarked into the minds of digital marketers (and in the digital makerting industry in general), that is the idea that your business should always be the first – first in rankings and first to generate leads. That’s good, actually. There’s nothing wrong with that. For sure many businesses have already benefited from the idea that “in order to be successful, you have to be number 1”.

But, here’s the problem. What if there are thousands of other companies like yours that’s battling for the first spot? There are ten times better companies that’s promoting through search engines using the same rules and guidelines that you have. So, something will actually not add up, right? The ratio is insufficient. How can you be number number 1 if there’s only one spot for hundreds of qualifiers.

Why Is It Okay To Settle As Second Best?

And what if, after all the efforts that you’ve been doing to land on the top spot, you really can’t make it there? Would you settle to be the second best? Would it be okay to be number 2? Is it really important to be number 1?

Aiming to be always the first is comparable to how a news channel would want to air a breaking news first before other channels do it. But the thing is, if you are the first to air it, does it necessarily make you the best? We can’t blame people for wanting to be the first, it’s human nature. It’s like the belief that if you’re left behind, you will be left with nothing.

So, What Now?

But honestly, the concept of “first rank = best” is just an old-school thinking – especially in SEO, where there are ways on how to do it. But, yeah, it can be one of your priorities because it really helps with the popularity of your brand if your website is always on the first page. However, it shouldn’t always be your goal. Simply because, it’s the traditional way of reaching your audience.

When was the last time you searched in Google? When was the last time that you ask Google a question? Did you click on the first organic result? Most likely, your eyes went straight to the meta descriptions looking for the answers on your questions. And, probably, you didn’t click on the first result (or maybe not even on the first page). That’s one good reason why it’s okay to be the second best; because users nowadays can no longer be fooled by what’s in front of them. Consumers are already aware that they have a choice.
