WordPress Website For Business

Considering a WordPress Website for Your Business?

If you dont have “a guy” or you dont know anyone who knows “a guy” and there is no one in your area who is “the guy” where would you go if you need a service in your area? Grab the Yellow Pages???

If you do you are a probably 55 and older because most people go to www.google.com or grab their smart phone which begs the question – If a tree falls in the forest and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound? Who cares! If your website cant be found on the first page of Google it is a tree in an empty forest…

Times are changing and traditional media is becoming less and less effective. Think about DVR, The Do-Not-Call List, Satellite Radio, Spam Blockers/pop up blockers, even caller ID. These were all invented to stop you from being able to interrupt someone’s day and tell them what you have to offer.

Now what?

These days just about every business has a website and several social media profiles however most business still dont know how or feel comfortable using them effectively…

Search Engine Optimization -

72% of clicks go to the first 5 results in Google, #6 gets 4.1% and #7 gets 3.8% after that it drops even faster. The #1 spot on Google gets 36.4% so thats about ten times the traffic as the #7 spot. What do you think a search engine optimized website will do for your business?
