Local Business Website Promotion - Be found locally

The need implement a local business website promotion come from the fact that the major 3 search engines (Google, Yahoo and Bing) understand the importance of satisfying the every needs of their users and this includes providing relevant local search results. These companies have spent billions of dollars to make sure that their user do not reach for another type of search engine or directory when they focus a search to find a business in their locality.

This being said, a recent research has shown that over 60% of small businesses across America have not take the proper steps to be found when people in their community are looking for them on the internet. Instead they rely only on Yellow Pages and local papers. By doing so these business owners are missing out on free traffic that can generate substantial revenues.

In order to be found online small business owners only need a small but professional website that is inexpensive and very easy to maintain. And, they need to have their website listed on the FREE local directories of Google, Yahoo and Bing as well as other FREE local directories.

If in addition to those two steps the small business owner would design and implement a local business website promotion campaign, they could skyrocket their sales and generate new sources of revenues.
