Here’s some very interesting (or possibly disturbing) points to ponder if you have a business website. According to a recent survey by eMarketer.com:
• 46% of small businesses don’t have website
• 99.99% of small businesses don’t have mobile websites
• 20% of computer searches on the web are for local information
• 90% (9 out of 10) mobile searches are for local information
And if that wasn’t enough to make you say “oh-oh”, consider that:
• There are 5 times more mobile phones than computers!
• Google’s CEO said: “Mobile is GOOGLE’S #1 initiative going forward”
• Mobile will drive local search growth! Mobile local searches will
increase to 35% of ALL searches by 2013. (eMarketer.com)
Prepare or perish!
That may sound like a dire warning, but I’m not trying to scare anyone. When the facts are considered, if your website is not ready for ‘local search‘ you will be invisible to most of the people searching for your products or services.
It is predicted that in the next five years, mobile phones (smart phones) will be the primary Internet access devices, but you can’t wait 5 years to address this. With 90% of all mobile searches today being local, this is something you need to fix immediately.
