(Newswire.net — September 20, 2013) Gaithersburg, Maryland — Small business owners must have a strong internet presence in order to capture a large percentage of local business. Potential clients are searching for your product or service every day, and the only factor that determines if you acquire these customers is the presence of your website on both desktop and mobile devices.
Hit Me SEO, a Maryland based search engine optimization and marketing firm, is dedicated to helping local businesses compete with larger organizations. Hit Me SEO has launched a proprietary mobile design platform that allows companies of all sizes to create a strong presence with both mobile devices as well as PC’s. The goal of the program is to offer affordable website design, that allows smaller businesses to target the local market, at a very affordable price.
“Most small businesses cannot afford to spend ten or twenty thousand dollars on a customized website. They need an affordable solution that is designed to target their local market, and most importantly, be mobile friendly”, said Tim Marose, owner of Hit Me SEO in Gaithersburg.
“Mobile search has exploded, and it is imperative for local businesses to get a piece of that market. Without a mobile website, businesses are missing out on roughly 35% of all search traffic” said Marose. “By the end of 2014, mobile search is expected to surpass desktop, and many small business owners are not prepared. We had to provide a solution.”
97% of consumers actively look for products and services online. 35% of consumers will not use a business if they have a poor quality website. Small business owners should realize that 70% of online searchers take action, and having a website that is customized to their local market can create a steady stream of sales for years to come.
Marose went on to say, “A local optimized responsive website will effectively represent your business on any device, at any time. Since 9 out of 10 businesses are not mobile optimized, you will stand out from the competition, and convert more local sales. We can provide an optimized and mobile friendly site that is localized.”
The mobile market is expected to explode in growth over the next 5 years, and many advertising agencies are gearing up heavily for the growth. Imagine being a year ahead of search engine optimization prior to Google’s explosion. This is the reason so many are preparing for the next generation of online advertising, mobile.
