The Internet is well known as a global communication tool, however for most small businesses in Stone this is no use if your customers can't find you!
Probably two thirds of businesses rely on local residents or visitors to the town for their trade - the very same users of our website.
So, if we were a business with a website, how would our customers find us?
-
By typing in the website address printed on our company's traditional
marketing resources (e.g. letter headings, vans, brochures, adverts)
|
|
-
By finding our advert on a town or other specialist website.
|
|
-
By
typing in various words and phrases in a search engine (e.g. "pubs stone staffordshire".)
|
|
The
current top 5 search engines are:
- Yahoo
- MSN
- Google
- Go
- AOL
The
heart-of-stone ranked in the top 10 on the top 5 search engines for all of the
searches below*.
