Why SEO? - Do You Want to Increase Website Traffic for More Leads, Enquiries & Orders?
Well we think we know the Answer.
More and more people are looking for your products or services via Internet search engines. People searching on the Internet are qualified leads.
There has been a “Revolution” in the world of marketing. There has been a major shift in the way people search for products and services. Using the likes of the yellow pages or responding to direct mailers does not work like it used to.
We can show you the general level of searching being done for your products and services online. The volumes may surprise you. Businesses are now being made through internet sales and marketing.
It's now time to address this revolution full on. You probably have a great business, you buy well or provide a good service, have good supplier relationships, good stock control and logistics operations and the customers you have are happy. However, you need more sales and new customers and are considering how to get them. Or maybe sales have dropped off a bit and you are wondering if the business has gone elsewhere or there is just less business around.
Take Note:
- Internet Sales are growing every year.
- Internet Search Volumes are growing every year
- Internet Searches are more qualified leads
- Internet is rated as the most important source of information now
- Over 72% of the UK uses the Internet regularly
- If you are not on page 1 (position 1-10) of Google forget it you're nowhere
“Millions Lost By Firms Who Ignore the Net”
(The Mail on Sunday : 15.02.2009)
“The Voice of Small Business report, which surveyed more than 400 firms employing up to 50 people, found that they were failing to take advantage of consumer demand for online shopping… over £20 Billion was spent online last year. This meant that small businesses were missing out on millions of pounds in potential sales every year….”It is also widely accepted that Google represents 85% + of all the searches done via a search engine in the UK. So this has to be the main target of any SEO campaign.
The Benefits of good SEO:
- More quality leads and enquiries for your products and services
- More Sales of products and services
- Raised profile for the whole business
- Increase Website Traffic and Market share
- An Additional sales channel
The Cap Gemini Interactive Media in Retail Group (IMRG) e-retail index found that, where online spending made up 15 per cent of total UK retail sales in 2007, the latest figures show this has grown to 20 per cent within the first half of this year (2008) or £26.5 billion. …at the current rate of growth, the index predicts online shopping could account for as much as half of all retail sales by 2014.
