How do search engines work?
It's spring time and you're looking for a store to rent a tuxedo for your son's senior prom - unless you frequent the neighborhood tailor, you're probably not sure where the nearest tuxedo rental shop is located.
Back in the day, you would have pulled out the yellow pages and looked for the friendliest advertisement - in the 21st century, simply searching 'tux rental mn' in Google would suffice.
As a customer, the 700,000 results you'd receive under a fourth of a second would be more than enough to answer your questions, but as a business, you would be bogged down by the plethora of websites, almost all advertising the same things.
