SEO is "Search Engine Optimization". With the millions of sites and online businesses out there, almost everyone has competition. Much of that competition comes from sites using similar words to describe services/products.
SEO uses techniques designed to build up your site based on terms visitors would look for if searching for your product/service. The purpose is to make sure your site gets seen on the search engines above the competition for terms related to your business. By improving your site visibility, you ensure more traffic to your site. By having more traffic to your site, you raise the possibility that visitors convert to paying customers.

Times have changed. Search engines like Google and Bing have become the new phone books. Millions of people look online every day to find products and services. SEO helps your site be found in the biggest phone book in the world.
