So do you personally happen to know, any extremely hard working service providers of any kind?
Most of them, routinely work extremely long hours, do they not?
And sadly, most of them, are of the mistaken belief, just because they are local service providers, with single locations, and no immediate plans of ever expanding.
There is simply no way, they need to be the least bit concerned with, utilizing and or optimizing, any type of proven online marketing strategies of any kind.
Of course, nothing could be further from the truth. As you’re soon about to discover.
Unfortunately, far too many extremely hard working small business owner,service provider, entrepreneurial types, have this secretly held belief,enormous untapped marketing potential, available to them, via the world wide web, simply doesn’t apply to their particular products and or services.
Primarily, because (as they love to point out!) to anyone who will listen, they are primarily, a local Mom & Pop small business and or service provider.What or how can their single location venture, possibly benefit from the world wide web?
So How Can Even Some Hard Core Techno Phobics Possibly Benefit From Proven Online Marketing Strategies?
At first glance, it may not seem totally obvious, but having some sort of web presence, especially if you’re a hard driving solo- preneur/service provider of some kind, definitely has it’s advantages.
Even if your WordPress website, and or blog only ranks on Google and or some of the other major search engines first or second page, for specific,long tail location based keyword phrases.
This is still, a major potential advantage over your local -service based provider competitors, who think your business or service, has to be globally orientated, in order to truly benefit from being online.
Because in essence, their primary thinking is, since they are a single location, Mom & Pop style bakery business, (or whatever)located in a small town in southern Kansas.
Why or what good does it possibly do them to have a website,ranking on Google-s first or second page, when no potential customers, outside of their immediate local area, will ever visit their store and buy from them?
This is pretty straight forward question, is it not?
