Local Online Marketing
Most Americans have replaced the yellow pages with online searches from their PCs and mobile phones. Instead of lugging a massive phone book around, they use Google, Yahoo and Bing to find local businesses such as yours.
Any business without a strategy for attracting local online customers is losing thousands of dollars in sales to their competitors. If your website is properly optimized, you can receive a flood of customer visits, phone calls or information requests without spending a dime on online or offline advertising.
Fortunately for savvy business owners, many of their competitors do not (yet) "get" how critically important it is to have an effective local online strategy. Every month, they waste hundreds or thousands of dollars on dying marketing methods. Their loss is your gain.
The best local online marketing method does NOT require any expensive advertising. It's inexpensive, no-brainer marketing with a huge potential return. And best of all, the earlier you start, the easier it is to continue beating your competition year after year.
Effective local search engine optimization helps you avoid spending many hours a week and huge sums of money managing pay-per-call, pay-per-lead, pay-per-click or pay-per-whatever advertising campaigns. And you will not have to share every single lead with your competitors. This means you can reduce costs while preserving your profit margins.
Here are a few facts about local online marketing:
- Almost all online searches for commercial products or services result in an offline purchase.
- 57% of American's characterize their normal behavior as "shop online, purchase offline."
- Over 25% of internet searches are targeted solely at purchasing local products or services.
- Small businesses (even one-person businesses) can still beat the largest businesses in local online marketing. This opportunity will not last forever.
- Most of your competing business owners do not (yet) know how effective local online marketing is. You should act before they wake up.
