Marketing your business effectively is particularly difficult for small businesses with limited resources and small budgets.

 

So you want to be sure that you're getting the best value for your marketing spend

 

Local Search Marketing!!

In these days of the Internet and Social Media, if you’re not in the marketplace that your potential customers are looking in for their next purchase, then you are missing out on business big time.

 

And that Marketplace is Google and the other major search engines.

 

In times gone by, businesses set out their stall in the market square and pitched to potential customers as they passed by.

In recent times, local press advertising and directories such as Yellow pages and Thomson Local were the medium of choice to attract customers.

But the days of advertising in the local press and in “hard copy” directories are a thing of the past, because nowadays that’s not where your prospects are searching any longer.
More consumers everyday are moving away from traditional resources like Yellow Pages and newspaper advertising, and turning to the Internet to find local businesses.

“Have you noticed how thin Yellow Pages has become in recent years? That’s because fewer people are using this type of advertising.”

Why? Because it doesn’t work like it used to!

There’s a quiet marketing revolution in progress, and many small and local businesses, aren’t even aware that the ground they’ve built their businesses on, is shifting right under their feet.

 

If you want to get the edge on your competitors, you have to have a presence online and in the social media arena.

In recent surveys it was found that Google provides 58% of visits to optimised local business websites. (33% from Google Places – 25% Google Organic). Whilst only 22% of visits (less than ¼ ) were from direct traffic (known site name/url).

But just being listed on Google isn’t enough. To be seen and to attract customers you need to be on the 1st Page of Google AND as high up Page 1 as you can possibly get.
