(Newswire.net — June 10, 2013) Kansas City, KS -It’s not news that the internet changed how we do many things: from searching to shopping to navigating new places. Nor is it news that internet resources like search engines (such as Google) have replaced older ways of doing tasks: seldom to people go to the yellow pages when they need a plumber or a chiropractor or an attorney. Instead, they search.
With the rise of smart-phones, that combine search engines, navigation devices, and cell phones all in one pocket-sized instrument, it’s never been more crucial for local businesses to be found online. Yet few businesses even know how to tell if they’re being found for important search phrases related to what they do.
As part of an awareness campaign, a local marketing company based near Kansas City, KS is making available to the public a free tool to check whether or not they’re being found. Justin West, the founder and CEO of Hundreds of Customers, LLC., said, “It’s vital that businesses know how they look online. If you’re not on page one of Google, between 80 and 97% of people won’t see you, because that’s how many people stay on page one of a Google search.”
Business owners can simply input their primary business number into the tool, located on the Hundreds of Customers website, and it will generate a free report for them to review; it can be accessed here: http://www.hundredsofcustomers.com/free-ranking-report-are-you-being-found-online/
