Small Biz Websites without Online Marketing Strategy Getting Crushed

Small business internet marketing
Don’t let your small business get crushed on the web

 

Ignore this Fact at Your Own Peril – An Effective Online Marketing Strategy is a MUST for any Small Business that has an Online Presence.

Build it, yet fail to market it, and they WON’T Come. It used to be enough to build a website and expect potential customers to find you online and transact business. This is no longer the case in the rapidly changing and increasingly competitive world of Online Businesses; building a website without online marketing is like building a small business in the middle of an abandoned desert! No one will ever see it!

Is this how your website looks to people searching on the Web?

Okay, “that sounds about right” you say, but maybe you wonder what a Small Business on a budget is to do about this problem? I know that a comprehensive Online Marketing strategy can be cost prohibitive for many small businesses and non-profits (some plans can run into the thousands of dollars). However, that doesn’t mean that you should ignore this fact and do nothing. At the very least small business owners should seek the services of an Online Digital Marketing Strategist or Consultant to help them prioritize goals and discuss the most cost-effective ways to obtain those goals.

While hiring such a consultant can seem cost prohibitive itself, getting professional advice and direction will most likely save you from making costly mistakes now and in the future. For example, do you know which social media platform is best for your customer-base? Do you know the best times to post or tweet? Do you know how much to bid for keywords or which demographics to choose? Do you know rather or not video will be effective for your business? Do you know how to measure rather or not what you are doing is effective? If it is not effective, do you know which corrections to make to improve results? The bottom line is, you could spend a ton of money and not be any better off without some professional help.
