Well, the most important reason for a website for any small business owner to have a website is number of people use internet more often than the traditional directories / yellow pages to find listings of their desired category. Compared with Yellowpages and directories, internet makes it easy for them to get what they are looking for. If you wanted to list your business in Google Places, Yahoo maps, you need not have a website, except you must have a physical location. Getting into Local Search Engines alone doesn’t provide you the required visibility your business is aiming for! These days, people use the Web to find just about everything, even the Packers & Movers (That’s exactly where I found mine when I had my house shifted.) If you offer a professional service your clients /customer will expect to find you on the Web.
Below are the simple but truely effective eight reasons for any business owners to own a website.
- Internet usage has a tremendous growth of 444.8% for the year 2000-2010. Courtesy: Internet World Stats
- Having a website makes your business more credible as most customers expect it.
- Your business can be found in local searches in internet by using the city names provided you have the related content and physical location (address) in your website.
- Make it easy for your website visitors to find you easily by having phone numbers, address and maps and direction to your location
- Include the detailed description about your business
- If you run a restaurant include the daily menus if possible that makes stand different by others
- Make sure to include your daily operating hours in the website
- Imagine that a customer is considering hiring your business and is attempting to use the Web to compare your services to the competition’s. If you don’t have a site, it makes you appear with less established and professional.
A business without website would be like a Business without Business Card. Be smart to have one if not you already own your website.
