(Newswire.net March 8, 2013) — Birmingham, AL – If you’ve heard all the hype about getting rich off the internet you might be wondering if it’s possible for your business to get a share of that pie. According to the folks at Big Moose Marketing ( www.bigmoosemarketing.com ) who launched their online marketing Birmingham services for small business in 2012, it is absolutely possible to get more leads, prospects and customers from the internet.
In fact, the firm owner, who has been quietly using internet marketing for her own award winning technology company since 2003, feels you could be missing a lot of business if your business isn’t visible online..
“When I started internet marketing it was much easier to get attention online. All you did was slap up any old website and people would find you if you offered something interesting or of value.” Says Roxanne Batson, the Managing Partner of Big Moose Marketing.
“Today, it can be much harder to get visible above the thousands of local websites unless you know what you’re doing.” she added.
Yet, the majority of small businesses have done little to market themselves online. Many have put up a website, but they are still counting on traditional print methods to get their product or service in front of the consumer.
The most surprising thing is that while business owners understand the power of the internet for themselves as they use phones and computers to look up businesses, until recently most did not recognize the value of using the internet to promote their business.
It is estimated that over 92% of people with access to a computer or internet ready device use it as the primary means to search for products and services.
That means there is opportunity for small business owners to capture business if they get visible online.
According to Asim Bawany, one of the internet marketers at Big Moose, the best way to start getting visible online is to use a combination of attention grabbing website and social media. The business owner also needs to understand which words their prospects are typing in searches to find them. Then once a prospect visits the site, their website should be designed to attract and keep prospect attention. Research shows that most websites lose their visitor within 3-8 seconds of the visit and they never return.
That is the reason that the Big Moose Marketing team decided to help educate business owners by offeromg a complementary ‘ Web Presence Analysis ‘ that identifies their current visibility and offers recommendations as to how to improve it if needed .
“If you can see how visible your company is now online and how you compare to what your competition is doing, you can begin to plan the steps to get visible. It doesn’t help much if people have to type in your company name to find you because they might not know your name. They just know the product or service they are looking for.’ commented Mr. Bawany. “If ithe onlne marketing is done well, we’ve seen customers get visible and show up on the first page of google very quickly…within days in some cases.”
The marketing company is helping businesses use specific local Birmingham search engine marketing strategies to attract consumers in the local area through their phones, Ipads and other devices.
Search engine marketing is a method of using words that consumers type into search engines and associate those words with your business name through what is called ‘optimzation’ so that, when someone types that word, the business name shows up in the search.
