Why your business needs to be on the internet...because Grandma and Grandpa know how to Google!

WFIM is now The Little Guy Marketing and can be found here New Website




Hi today I am at my moms and what I have here is her new toy, a Dulcimer. Now what the heck does my mom’s (Judy) dulcimer have to do with Internet marketing?
Well its how she got the dulcimer that’s important, she got the idea of wanting a dulcimer and the first thing she did was try to Google on locally with no luck. She mentioned it to me and I messaged some people about it. It turns out my girlfriend Kelly knows a guy that she contacted thru Facebook to find out about where to get a dulcimer locally, well turns out Shipshewana has dulcimers. So my mom Google’s to find them in Shipshewana. Now mom likes a bargain, so she looked on eBay and started bidding on eBay, she didn’t get the winning bid, but she has bought several items on eBay before. She follows craft groups and makes online purchases regularly or uses the internet to find places to buy what she needs. Pretty good for a lady in her seventies! Now she does ask for help with Face book every now and then, but she’s pretty internet savvy.
Now my Dad, Dave, volunteers at the Michigan City senior center where he teaches other seniors how to use the internet email, upload pictures and things like that. He also uses the internet for shopping, for fishing groups, pricing new cars, finding new restaurants and filling up my email with bad jokes. My parents gave up buying the actual newspaper; they now go online to read it.
The point is practically everyone is using the internet to some extent to shop, and if your business is not online properly and getting found, your losing money because people are desperately trying to find you on the internet.

Web design Michigan City...what your web designer didnt tell you and why your website is buried in Google

WFIM is now The Little Guy Marketing, you can find our website HERE


Did your web designer make you an awesome looking site? Where is it in Google? Are you getting lots of visitors to the site? Are you getting leads from your website?

Lots of people can make a great looking website, but very few know how to actually get your site found in Google for the phrases/keywords that you want!

Web designers are creative types, like musicians, very few are marketers, just as many musicians are bad marketers, they hire someone to market them. You need who is an Internet marketer to help your website get found in Google.

You need to be using email campaigns for your customers and potential customers. Are you able to capture emails from visitors to your site so you can contact them later? A good web designer would have told you about this.

Did you web designer talk about Search Engine Optimization or SEO? He should have, it is one of the critical components of how Google ranks your website.

Link building, were you told you need links to your site, this is another component of your web site that Google looks at. Do you have a way to get links from other websites to yours? Is your web designer going to get those?

Are you using other methods for Internet marketing? There are blogs, video sites, social media and article directories. Are you in any of them? Did your designer recommend them?

Is your business listed with Google Local? Yahoo Local? Bing local? These are all sites that your business and website should be listed in. Each of those has rules for ranking higher for your business as well. Does your web designer know how to rank for them?

Are you positioned in the search engines for local search? Lets assume your web designer did all that, and that you are a realtor. If your web designer did well and got you ranked for “realtor” in Google, that just made you loose money. Now every Tom Dick and Harry from Iowa, Texas and New York will be calling. You want to be ranked for “realtor insert your town name here”.

If you are not ranking for your terms in multiple spots on the first two pages of Google, you need to call me today. 219-210-600
