Is your business easy to find online?
Are you active in all the places where your target customers hang out online? In other words, can they connect with you on their terms?
Only 26% of small businesses have invested any time or effort in marketing online. That means there is still time to get established before it’s too late.
According to Yahoo! 92% of all business searchers start looking online—either at home or on their mobile phones.
So the first online marketing success ingredient is get out there and get found.
Yes, Google is important but there are some 50 other key online locations where you must be dialed in today to get found by your target prospects—and it isn’t just a “set and forget” strategy. Once you get established in these places, you need to “stay fresh.”
The Internet search engines and directories are like big grocery stores. There’s a “sell by” date on almost every piece of information out there and if you’re not delivering something new on a regular basis, you’re going to get knocked off the shelf by someone else who is.
That’s the reason why your website is so important. It is your welcome mat to the world. You have control of it.
Social Media sites are important but they can change from one minute to the other. Every year it is a new trend, every month one social media site is more popular than the other. Your website is your stability online. You decide what you will present to your customers and when.
Use Social Media to attract people to your site and when they come, offer them something that will build a relationship such as a report, a coupon, a video series, a gift certificate, etc.
I will help you get a website that is current, updated frequently, and I will make sure to connect your business to all the Social Media and local search sites.
