Considering the reach a website and online presence can offer your business, I find it unbelievable that only 35% of Australian businesses have a website. I realise that for many Baby Boomers out there, the first thing you reach for when looking for a business is the Yellow Pages or White Pages, but you need to understand that internet is to Gen X and Gen Y, what the Yellow Pages is to you.
Every day there are 4,000 Google searches in Australia for Accountants, 12,000 for Builders and 30,000 for Cafes! With the popularity of smart and internet connected phones, this will continue to grow as the internet provides the instant access to the information your customers are looking for. One report states that 75 percent of mobile phones internet users, use thier phones to find out where the nearest store is located. So you can no longer bury your head in the sand and think that your customers aren't trying to find you online.
