Why does my business need SEO?
A recent survey revealed that over 70% of consumers looking for a business that’s based offline will search online for things like store location, contact details, opening times, services offered and prices charged. Furthermore, of those surveyed, 90% confessed that :
- If they couldn’t find a specific business on Google, they’d happily use a competitor
- They only clicked on websites/businesses that appeared on page 1 of search results
- If they couldn’t find a specific business on Google then they assumed that the business had either ceased trading or no longer exists.
If your business isn’t on Google (and page 1 for that matter) then you’re customers think your business either is no longer trading or quite simply never existed. We’re sure you’ll agree that neither of these are a good thing. Think of all those potential customers that are going to your competitors just because they couldn’t find you on Google.
Tangent has the solution. Forget the Yellow Pages - your customers are looking for your business online – make sure you are the one that they find when they’re in the market for what you do.
