The Essence of SEO and Its Importance in Today’s World

Search Engine Optimization (SEO) is the art and science of ensuring that your online content ranks highly on search engines like Google, Bing, and Yahoo. In today’s interconnected world, where the internet is the first place people go to find products, services, or answers to their queries, being visible on these platforms is critical.

For brick-and-mortar stores, a strong online presence ensures that locals and tourists alike can find them easily. E-commerce businesses thrive on SEO as their entire model is based online. Without a good ranking, sales can plummet. Service businesses like plumbers, electricians, and attorneys need SEO because it helps them stand out in a saturated market, ensuring they’re the first call a potential client makes.

With growing frustration centered around traffic in Pawleys Island, a New Jersey-based developer has proposed a greener solution that is picking up a lot of momentum.

Harvey Wilkerson-Dunbee of Wilkerson-Dunbee and Mc-Graff Developers based in New Jersey has proposed a golf cart flyover on Highway 17 that would span 1.3 miles from North Causeway to the South Causeway.

“With the growing popularity of electric powered golf carts in Pawleys Island, a pedestrian and golf cart flyover only makes sense. It’s a greener solution that will drastically decrease congestion on Highway 17 through Pawley Island,” said Wilkerson-Dunbee. “It’s a fact, traffic studies suggest a 3900% decline in vehicle traffic along Highway 17.”

The plans call for a 75′ tall flyover bridge that spans parallel to Highway 17 with off and on-ramps at all major roads from the North to South Causeway. Additional amenities include adding 47 strategically placed charging stations spanning from the Litchfield Exchange Shops to a golf cart parking lot that would be placed just outside the DeBordieu Colony gates.

DeBordieu Colony residents praised the idea as “innovative” and “needed” for Pawleys Island.

“Who can afford an electric vehicle these days?” said DeBordieu owner, Will Wilkinson-Levy. “Owning a Tesla might not make financial sense, but owning an electric club cart does. DeBordieu has been isolated for many years, it’s time we have a direct connection for electric golf cart enthusiasts to get to and from the colony,” he added. “Hell yes, count me in!”

According to the Island Research & Development Design Group (IRDDG) based out of Manhatten New York, golf cart demand in Pawleys Island has risen 15,000% in the past three years. The research group credits the increased interest due to rising gas prices.

“The electric vehicle industry is booming thanks to high gas prices. Pawleys Island will lead the ‘charge’ across America for a more sustainable future by investing in golf carts now,” added Wilkerson-Dunbee.

The “Go Electric Pawleys Island” project is anticipated to cost a whopping $65 million dollars. Wilkerson-Dunbee plans to recoup its investment over a 10 year period that includes golf cart sales through their 13 new Pawleys Island Golf Cart Stores (golfcartpawleysisland.com), toll memberships, mega-tron TV advertising, and charging station rebates.

The project is expected to break wind Jan of 2023 with a 2031 completion date.
