Why SEO Is No Longer An Option?

With today's advancement in technology and easy access to internet whether from a smartphone, tablet, or computer more people than ever are online.  In fact 4.8 billion people have a mobilephone.  What does this mean as a local business owner?  

More and more consumers are using the internet to find local businesses like yours and a majority of internet search is mobile. Consumers are looking at reviews, they are doing research on the products/services that you offer, they are comparing you to your competitors, and/or they are trying to find your location/phone number. 

According to data from Google, over 50% of all mobile search is local search for places or items; 1 in 3 mobile searches are performed before visiting a store; and over 61% of local searches result in a purchase!

Another fact is...Consumers who find your business organically versus a paid ad are 5-7x more likely to make a purchase but here's the caveat 40% of consumers turn to a competitor after a bad mobile experience. So having a mobile-friendly website is a must or you are losing potential customers. 

Doing SEO for your business is no longer an option it is a necessity for your business if you plan on "sticking around."   Being on the first page of Google can double, triple or quadruple the amount of business that you do.  If you are not currently doing SEO or web marketing for your business, WHY NOT?  

Working with a repliable, honest, and results-driven SEO company can make all the difference to your business.
