General Mills is using search engine optimization (SEO) to help increase the visibility of its gluten-free products Although search engine optimization (SEO) can help small companies better level the playing field with their larger competitors, even large corporations are using the tool to help build their niche markets. Advertising Age points out that while only 2 percent of the population has been diagnosed with celiac disease, General Mills has created products for this small target audience and is making a big push with online marketing.

The efforts of General Mills should be a lesson to any small business that believes their product may be geared toward a niche market and is considering using search engine optimization (SEO). In a column last week for Search Engine Land, Hanan Lifshitz wrote that small businesses should try to make sure they are part of the first page of results when a consumer searches for a business in their area.
