How To Use the World Wide Web To Leverage Your Local Business

Local Business is gradually understanding the value of having a web site that draws traffic. Does your business have at least , say 1 -10 employees?

Do you run, maybe a:

• Pizza Restaurant in St Kilda
• A Lawn Mowing service in Baulkham Hills
• A Portrait Photographer with a Flair in Perth,
• A Chiropractic Studio in Cairns,
• Music ensemble that does weddings, christenings and Birthdays in Orange,
• A Petrol Station that goes that extra mile and offers extra service and a free hand wash with every full tank?

In fact, the Web is "world wide"... it's a "global medium."

It's OK to presume that some potential clients will still use the Yellow Pages™ and other local business directories. But as Broadband services become more widely accepted, more and more people are using Google™, Yahoo, Ask and other Search Engines to look for what they want. It's easy and fast to do a search.

Let's say that a potential customer types in "lawn care St Kilda." And they don't find a business in the suburb of St Kilda? They then extend the search to "lawn care Bayside."

Now you try to conveniently extend your search with your local 5 kilogram business directory!

As a local business owner, you know that demand drives the market. More and more clients are using search engines to find what they want. If you're not delivering, they'll go elsewhere.

This is why faster and faster, local business is coming online. They're using the Net to:

• Build trust and credibility with their existing customers by providing friendly, personal information about their business.
• Deepen relationships by providing great content. e.g. the DIY crowd love information (how to brew your own beer).
• Boost their local profile and position their products and services to be the leader.
• You can still promote locally and take customers from the competition at the same time.
• Keep your customers talking about you and deepen customer relationships through an electronic newsletter (and increase sales too, e.g "It's summertime, which means it's time to clean your pool filters and stock up on chlorine.")
• Build targeted traffic (local and global) to find new customers, even add entirely new income streams (maybe you have a gift shop where either you or one of your suppliers produces something special that a wholesaler in Germany wants), or you can develop stories of "down under" that will excite people from around the globe to buy. This way you can also monetize this traffic through the Google™ Adsense program and other related affiliate programs. Yes, this means multiple sources of income .
• Leverage your local expertise and knowledge for global clients, selling their goods online, even through online auctions. This way you can develop a solid Web presence, generate targeted traffic, build loyalty through a newsletter for customers, get the edge on the local competition, and add multiple income streams to your business.

You may ask, well how am I going to accomplish all that?

You could pick an employee to spend the time building the site, or do it yourself, or hire an SBI Certified Webmaster.

You must, however, stay in charge by following the advice that Site Build It offers.

No matter what... get started. Because you do need a Web site... now.

Just think of a Web site as a super-Yellow Pages™ ad... with 100 times the results... at 1/10 of the price. People are searching less and less by off-line methods and more using the NET.

Local business all over the globe is now cashing in on the increased volumes of business they're now doing on line...but only with a site that WORKS!

By the way, new innovations in advertising also gives you a precise targeted message to your clients through NET AUDIO ADS , where every time someone opens a web page, they hear an audio advertisement that plays a six second audio ad.

PLUS...If you'd ALSO like to find out how you can increase your NET PROFITS by up to 35% then.....
