It's Tough Being At The Top
Google's market share is certainly growing. It handled 60 percent of Internet search queries in November 2005, up from 47 percent a year earlier, according to ComScore Networks. If your web site does not have a ranking with Google then over half the searches on the Internet will never find your web site and the chances of generating new business through the web is considerably reduced.
Have you checked to see if your pages are ranked with Google?
Do your key products or services have a registration?
Does your site appear on the first two pages?
How does your site compare to your major competitors?
If you have a poor registration, or your competitors sites appear on the first page and your site is nowhere to be seen, then you need to give us a call. We provide a free competitor analysis report and can advise you on what action to take to ensure your site is effective in bringing in new business.
