Many businesses can garner a competitive edge when they replace their costly and unproductive local business advertising with a new kind of marketing that is separating the winners from the losers. Gone are the days when a local businessman could rely on the Yellow Pages to bring customers or clients to their brick and mortar establishment. A paradigm shift has taken place and people are now shopping for things they want and need through the Internet and increasing through their mobile device.

Search Engine Optimization, informally known as SEO, is now almost a necessity for local businesses to acquire and maintain a competitive edge. Strangely enough, many local businesses do not even have a website and just having an email address does not qualify as a presence on the Internet. But even though they may have a dynamite website with all the bells and whistles they may never be found if they are not listed on page one of Google, Yahoo or one of the other major search engines.

Search Engine Optimization is an art and science practiced by seasoned Internet marketers who are SEO experts who have gained their knowledge over their years of experience on the Internet. Of course it is knowledge and skill that can be acquired by anyone willing to put forth the time to learn and develop mastery but most local businessmen may not have the time or inclination to devote to this endeavor as they are too busy running their business or practicing their profession and must increasing rely on SEO experts to provide and maintain a competitive edge on the Internet.

Technology has replaced old forms of advertising and with the rapid emergence of mobile phones and devices; even computers may soon fall by the wayside. Billions of mobile phones are in use throughout the world and many people no longer have a land line and consequently, have no phone book. Of course the Yellow Pages people will gladly set up a website for local businesses for a huge price and will provide the same service for similar businesses in the same service area. While this provides an internet presence it falls very short of providing the competitive edge that a local business needs in today’s economy.

For a local business to acquire and maintain a competitive edge they may need to not only have a website but also be able to optimize it on the search engines. If they are not getting their money’s worth for their local business advertising dollar their money may be better spent by contracting with an Internet marketer who is an expert in search engine optimization. The sooner they do so the better as times are most definitely changing. They also need to start planning now for how they are going to compete as mobile phone advertising comes into full bloom within the next couple of years.

Media Motivators are SEO experts and can help local businesses acquire and maintain a competitive edge on the Internet and through mobile phone advertising as it continues to become increasing important. Unlike Yellow Pages, we only work with one business of a kind in a given service area and our work is guaranteed.

 Times Are Tough:

There’s no doubt about it. People are still losing their jobs, their homes, their saving, their insurance and their dreams for the future. Banks and large corporations have been bailed out to the tune of billions and middle class America is picking up the tab while corporate executives are lining their pockets. The cost of living continues to go up and people are seeing the quality of their life as well as their hopes and dreams eroded by the continuing economic crisis. Many businesses on Main Street America have gone broke and closed their doors while others are hanging on by a thread. Although there are some who, because of the nature of their business, are well positioned to thrive during the recession, whereas most are justifiably worried about their future.

The economic crisis is not the only reason that business on Main Street America need to worry. Americans have been gradually changing the way they shop for the things they want and need and unfortunately many business owners either have not seen it coming, have ignored it thinking that it is just a trend that will pass, have been too busy or too stuck in the traditional means of marketing to avail themselves of the knowledge and tools necessary to make the transition to this new kind of marketing that is the Internet.

Main Street, Not Wall Street:

While most people, over 80% search online before making a purchase and although they shop online the good news is that they like to buy locally. Over 60% of the GDP comes from local business. People who are looking for a plumber, a painter, an electrician, someone to landscape their yard or a provider of a needed product or service may indeed look in the phone book but will also search for the businesses web site to find out more about them before they buy. Problem is that if a business does not have a web site the consumer will more often than not find someone who does.

Unfortunately, having a good website may not be enough. It has been said that 98% of searchers make a selection from businesses listed on page one. In a normal search, the number one spot gets about 41% of the clicks while number two gets around 12% and number three, about 8½. Other positions get fewer clicks. One can see that if a business is not among the first three on page one it is not getting people coming to their site. A business can have the best web site going but if they are not one of the top three, or not on page one at all they are not getting potential customers coming to their site.
