Small Business Websites - Why You Should Upgrade Your Old Website

First of all, if your small business has an existing website, congratulations! You are way ahead of your competitors who don't even have a website yet.

Who designed your website? Is it attractive, professional, informative, uncluttered? Does it employ the latest "tricks" that customers expect to see, like audio/video presentations showcasing your business, maps to your location and a full description of your goods and services?

Advances in the Internet and changes in Search Engine Optimization (called SEO for short) make it imperitive that you upgrade your existing website to rise to the top of the search engine results. When people search Google or Yahoo for your particular kind of business, you want to be right at the top of the results.

In years past, websites that were at the top of the search engines were large, hundreds (or thousands) of pages in size and were designed by expensive website designers.

Not any more, today you can upgrade your small business website to include audio and video, you can import the latest news in your industry right on the webpage and rise to the top of the search engines for a mere fraction of the former cost!

What exactly is Search Engine Optimization and why should you care?

Equate your thinking about the Internet with the Yellow Pages.

What do you do when you want to find a business (for example, a plumber) in the Yellow Pages? You turn to that heading and then the results are alphabetized within that heading, right?

Well, when someone searches for a plumber on the Internet, the results come back (just like the Yellow Pages) but the results are not alphabetized. Instead, the search engines display the results based on their internal criteria. So, your customer may not ever find your small business website on the Internet, unless it is at the top of the search engines.

That's why it is critical for you to have a website designed from scratch with search engine optimization in mind. You must have a website that rises to the top of the search engines, or what's the point?
