find local businesses! 

find local businesses through
content marketing.

Find local businesses. The Eternal question of how do you, as an small local business, using your excellent and relevant content marketing to catch the interest of consumers, before they are captured by your competitors' Business sites. In this article you will find activities, which is Free, very effective, very simple and quick to perform. I Believe that Will Immediately affect, your target audience and potential customers' ability to find your small local business, when they make their Internet Search.. Remember, that people do not buy, what you offers, they buy because of Why you offer a product or service. And about Why, i don't mean to make a profit. Because that is a result, and it will always be a results...

According to "Google+ Small Business",  It's now ONLY 16% of ordinary consumers that DON'T daily or regularly, using search engines to find local business. And gather information for making local purchases. This means, that over 80% of your potential customers get their initial impressions online, at your "brick and mortar" Business, and not when they actually visits your physical Store and Business.

But how can this statement by Google be true? I think this is a logical and natural consequence of the very fast development of the Internet and all new equipment, software, technologies. Deployment of fiber optic lines, expansion of the mobile network 4G, and in only a few years 5G. New more advanced computers, and mobile devices such as smart phones. Of course, Internet connection and various devices have become and are becoming cheaper in most countries.

However, it should be mentioned that not all countries have reached as far, for there are still many locations with poor internet coverage, or to smart phones and internet access continues to be a costly investment. But the Internet's expansion going on at a furious pace in most countries. And as you can see Live Here,  new internet and smart phone users, popping up every second.

There is a rapid development and sales of new smartphones, which are cheap and custom-designed for different markets such as India, where today, a large part of the population has limited financial resources, but will become very avid users of the new digital technology, within the next 5 years, thank's to the big "Digital India" project..

In many countries, like for example, the United States, and most of Europe, and similar countries. Here strikes the e Commerce, new amazing record, almost every month. But despite new records, far from all small business still have a real internet presence. Small businesses may be even less connected than you thought. Which sadly mean they will be left behind, the competitors who already have a proper internet presence can very easy catch potential customers who make their Internet search.

Although, in the countryside and in small towns, local business has its advantage to just be local and therefore are often known by locals, for example a local plumber, electrician or your local supermarket. However in large towns is the competition bigger and small businesses find it harder to be seen without Internet presence.

little or no internet presence.

It is actually very surprising and remarkable that about 60% of very small businesses (with one to five persons, including the owner) does not have a business blog or website. And only about 12% have a well updated Facebook page. The percentages are about the same globally, for example in Australia, Brazil, Canada, India, Mexico, Italy, UK and US. That today, as small business owners rely only on word-of-mouth is almost like playing Russian Roullet. Because most consumers take today for granted, especially the younger generation that all companies, regardless of size, have a proper business blog or website...

The reasons why small businesses regardless of the country, does not have a real internet presence is the classic ones: Consider themselves too small for a real website, lacks web-technical knowledge and interest to self build a website, and many consider the cost of acquiring a website has been too high in relation to the benefits they so far have been able to see and understand, of having a business website..

I've said it many times here on my website, but say it again. For the smallest businesses can this lack of internet presence quickly become critical because they usually have small financial margins. And when competitors start catching up on customers in front of theirs nose, using their business websites can it mean too many small business without websites, in the worst case have devastating consequences...

As I have said, do not forget that today it is over 80% of your potential customers, that will get their initial impressions online on your, "brick and mortar" business, and Not when they actually, visits your physical Store and Business.

Why small business lack Internet Presence?

Why have  only 46% of small businesses, a proper Internet Presence.  Of course it depends on many different factors, but we ignore all that do not have technical opportunity for Internet connectivity today. As I said earlier, there are a few main reasons. The biggest reason I think is that small local business has not seen a need, because they are local and the locals already know where they are.

And it is natural, but all ordinary consumers they have long, Internet access, a computer, and now also a smartphone. Right now, today, as you read this, there will be over 3.5 billion Internet Searches, and this happens every day. This figure would obviously increase as the number of Internet user is constantly increasing. As I have said before, people's internet behavior has considerably changed in the last 5 years.

It is now so easy to quickly do an internet search for people when they need to know something, to quickly do a search to find local businesses. And with all the internet search so people want to find your other competitors with their business sites. Even if you have loyal regular customers, maybe they'll find what they're looking for, at an attractive price, and even if your competitor is geographically far away so they can offer e Commerce, your local customer actually choose to buy. And you miss out on revenue.

As soon as you have built your own business blog or website, of course, the possibilities are great that potential customers who live geographically far from your store, do the Internet search and will find you, if you can offer e Commerce, would the chances be great they choose to implement purchase. There are many examples of "brick and mortar" business in different sectors, where turnover from e Commerce, account for the majority of the year-turnover, and thus saves the "brick and mortar" store, from a shutdown.

Other reasons why so many small business do not have a proper web presence, is about small web technical knowledge, a small interest to learn the web technology, combined with being small and having to prioritize your time. That small business has a limited economy has also been of great importance, because it can easily cost $ 10,000 to hire a business website developers...

But now is no longer the issue, if you shall build and if you can afford a real internet presence. Now I Believe it is about to do it today. Technological development has made tremendous progress when it comes to build a Business site. Just 10 years ago, it was very complicated coding, expensive and time-consuming. Here on my website you find free tips and good advice. Today, there are also "all-in-one" tools, you can build and maintain everything all by yourself, you can have it up and running live on the internet within few days even if you do everything in your spare time. Without that you first need to become a Web Programmer ...

There are many offers on the Internet, when it comes to creat a proper internet presence. You can start by watching this Video Tour,  it's a real business tool experience. I use it myself and can warmly recommend, but it is of course up to you to choose which Business tool to Use .. 

it's time to wrap it up.

I Believe when potential customers do their online search, they'll quickly find one local businesses, and that is your Small Business. It is not because you are super expert in content marketing, SEO expert, or an experienced web programmer. No it is essentially about WHY.. People dont buy what you do or offer, They buy Why you offer a Product or Service.

Build your Internet presence, is about starting from people's Internet search. They make their searching, to find valuable and relevant help, information, smart solutions, to find a Business, products or services.
