We’ll get your local business to the top of Google!
How many new clients are you missing out on every year because they can’t find you in the search engines?
One of the most common problems that many business owners face after having a web site designed is that nobody can find it in the search engines. And a website is of little use if nobody can find it. It’s a bit like opening a store in the middle of nowhere without a single sign pointing to its location.
It’s common sense that your website needs to be found easily by people looking for your services, otherwise it’s not serving its purpose. Sure, you probably put your link on your business cards and flyers & advertisements and some people may find it that way. But if you’re not appearing at the top of Google for your most relevant keyword phrases, then you’re almost certainly missing out on many new customers and clients each year. Consider the following statistics:
73% of activity online is in one way or another “related to local content” - (Google 5/07)
97% of Internet users in the U.S. gather shopping information online, and of those consumers 51% explicitly characterize their behaviour as “Shop Online, Purchase Offline” - (NPD Group)
25% of ALL commercial Internet searches are conducted by users looking for local merchants (Kelsey-Bizrate 2004)
It’s clear from these statistics that the internet has effectively become the new yellow pages. When looking for a local service most people no longer pull out that dusty bloated old yellow book, they simply hop online and type in what they’re looking for.
With the economy now in free-fall, can your business afford to miss out on new customers who are looking for your services?
Why you’re not getting found.
The internet works quite a bit differently to the yellow pages. It’s not as straight forward and not everything is ordered quite as uniformly. Plus, it doesn’t matter how much you pay for your website, there’s no guarantees you’re going to get to the top of Google - or anywhere near (unless you spend money on pay per click ads).
If your website isn’t appearing near the top of Google then it’s simply because your web site doesn’t incorporate a number of key search engine optimisation strategies.
