27 Dec Your Website Matters, A Lot, Especially For Small Businesses
A common misconception for business owners, is that their website is of minimal importance since they don’t “sell online.”
This is particularly a common thought among owners of small businesses. However, this couldn’t be further from the truth.
Think about your own behavior. What do you do when you are want to hire someone for a service for your home or when you want to buy a product? Of course, you go to Google or your favorite search engine. You research companies. You compare pricing. You read reviews. The information you find on their websites help you formulate a decision about which company you will call for a quote or call to hire.
Forget About DIY Websites
A professional website design is a must-have sales tool. If your website looks bad or outdated, potential new clients will move on to the next website that gives them a feeling of trust. DIY websites are common among new businesses and very small businesses, however, they may be hurting you more than you think. While you may design a great looking website from a template from Wix or GoDaddy, those sites are not going to function well in the search engines. These cheap hosting companies target small businesses who don’t understand the importance of a website that functions well with Google. If you want a hobby site, go with the cheap site. If you want a business site, professional hosting and design is critical.
Content is King
Regular updates are important to not only keep your customers and potential customers in the loop, but also to keep Google coming back to your site so you will rank higher in searches. The “Content is King” phrases has been thrown around for years and that’s because Google has made it clear they are looking for sites publishing relevant, useful, unique, and interesting content. If you are not publishing content on a regular basis, you can forget about ranking high with Google.
