Importance of SEO for Contracting
Most contractors already understand that the internet and search engines are EXTREMELY important to the long-term growth and sustainability of their business. However, I occasionally get the question, "why are search engines and search engine marketing so important to the contracting industry?"
Yellow Pages are dead. The #1 place that consumers used to looked when they needed a contracting service was the YellowPages. In today's market, very few people still reference the printed Yellow Pages.
Where do they go now?
They look on the major search engines (Google, Yahoo, Bing and others).
• A new survey of 2,000 consumers found that 86% of those surveyed used the internet to find a local business.
• 74% of the respondents said they use a search engine when they are looking for a local retail or service business.
If you are not showing up on page one of Google, Yahoo and Bing for the contracting-related keywords in your area, then you are missing a major opportunity! I can help, but I only work with ONE contractor in each city. So, call me at 866-493-9910 before your competitor does.
