Small/Local Business SEO

More organic traffic means more customers for absolutely no advertising costs.

Search engine optimization is rapidly replacing in-person referral as the primary prospect and customer generation source for small and local businesses. Before the internet age, customers interacted with each other in person and developed relationships with local business owners who provided the services and products they needed.

Local advertising used to work and local referrals from happy loyal customers who were part of a close community provided all the foot traffic a business needed to stay in business.

The Way People Buy Things Has Changed:

People Turn To Search Engines First

As a small business owner, you’re on the front line of the social changes that the internet created. Communities no longer interact with each other, people don’t refer local businesses, and instead of heading to Main Street to find what they need, customers go to Google and search instead.

Google makes it easy to find anything you need and modern shipping makes getting goods to your home practically overnight faster than ever.

Local Businesses In The Top-10 Of Search Results Get Over 90% Of The Traffic. Where Is Your Business?

Consider the facts behind search engine ranking and customer generation that will make you think twice about how marketing works in the internet age…

• If prospective customers are searching for a keyword related to your business, 94% of those people will click on a website within the first 10 (or first page) of Google search results…

• That means that only 6% of organic (that’s traffic you don’t pay for) goes to the second page and beyond. If your business isn’t on the front page of Google results, you’re missing out on 94% of potential customers in your area…

• Around 34% of internet searchers click on the first link result in Google. About 17% click on the second result. The 10th result on the first page gets less than 3% of all clicks…

By the numbers, it’s clear that a higher search engine ranking matters, especially if you rely on organic traffic to advertise your business.

Search Engine Optimization Has The Highest ROI Of Any Marketing Strategy

And That Means More Profit For Your Business…

SEO is what referrals once were—the free “found you through a friend” customer that walks into the door or calls you on the phone. The problem is that everyone’s new friend is Google and the referrals come in the form of search results displayed on the front page of a search.

Yes, search engine optimization for your business costs money. But the return on that investment is many times greater than what you’ll get with traditional advertising.

Instead of placing an advertisement in the back of the paper no one reads anymore or a TV commercial that will be recorded on the DVR and skipped, consider investing in the steps you need to take to guarantee that the Main Street “foot traffic” of the internet finds your local business.
