Search Engine Optimization – Improving Your Adelaide Business

Generally search engine optimization has been frowned upon recently and due to no fault of its own. It’s simply due to lack of quality SEO’s if I have said it once I will say it again 80% of them are web designers with luck 19% of them are sales people looking too make a quick dollar. And finally the golden 1% that know exactly what they are doing. You will now learn the golden ticket Google has left local business from one those few one percenters.

So why is this the golden ticket to local businesses? Well for starters we all know that someone looking for your services in your location is a potential client. We know that if you’re close to them for example in the same city there is a fairly good chance you are doing them a favor too by offering them the service or product instantly.

So far you are with me yeah? That’s good because Google has made it even easier for your business inside said city to rank for your main keyword. And by the main keyword, I mean a keyword with 500-3000 monthly searchers. Think of it as free advertising by Google while in return making it more and more convenient for its users!

What Makes Adelaide Perfect for Business Growth

Now it get down to the details if we look at Adelaide we can see it has a population of 1.306 million people. And we know by statistics that 88% of the Australian population actively uses the internet. Using simple mathematics we can determine that 1,148280 people are online in Adelaide. This is huge because at the end of the day those people using the internet are spending their time on YouTube, Facebook and Google.

This is perfect for local businesses! And here is the catch the numbers are always rising. Each year more and more people are getting online with their phones, tablets, laptops then searching for services and products.

Now at the end of the day I know some of you might be saying some things like my service does not need to be online we are a family run business, or my son takes care of all the internet jargon why should I spend my money on SEO.

• Firstly everyone needs new clients or the business falls through it’s as simple as that.
• Secondly because Jimmy might be awesome on Facebook does not mean he knows what he is doing when it comes to SEO.
• Finally because it’s not money being spent its being invested into the online image of your business.

At the end of the day I am one hundred percent confident in the power of search engine optimization. It has helped thousands of businesses reach new heights with their services, customer base and brand image. It has given the power of local advertising back to the common people. Whereas earlier all the media outlets where dominated by businesses with the deepest pockets, SEO has made it possible for local smaller businesses to make their mark.

And if you ask me it’s not a moment too soon, with huge factories like Holden being shut down and outsourced to cheaper international countries. We in South Australia are getting more and more desperate for jobs. So it comes as no surprise that SEO helping local businesses getting in more and more customers will help them hire more hardworking Aussies.
