why their business needs quality local seo services to be able to compete in today’s digital world.
♦ 97% of US consumers go online to find a local retail or service business.
♦ 70% of US households use the Internet EVERY time they intend to shop locally.
♦ 72% are looking for a local business within 20 minutes of their home.
♦ 82% of local online searches result in a visit, contact, or phone call to that local business.
♦ But, only 63% of local businesses have any kind of online presence, and much fewer have a visible online presence!
The key word is visible. What is visible?
Ever hear of Google? If you haven’t you’re living in the stone age! The phrase “Google It” has long surpassed “Just Do It” as number one 
Roughly 7 out of 10 people use the Google search engine to find the products and services they are looking for in their local area.
Would you rather hunt for customers, or make yourself available to customers who are hunting for you?
Besides the fact that it’s free, do you know what the difference is between Google search results, and any other form of advertising?
In the Google search results, 100% of the people that see your listing are specifically targeting your product or service (because that is exactly what they typed into the search bar)…They Are Hunting You!
When you advertise elsewhere, who knows what percentage of the consumers are actually looking for your specific product or service…You Are Hunting Them!
But, just being listed in Google search results doesn’t help your business, unless it’s on the first page! Yes, the first page! That’s the top 10 out of thousands, if not millions, of search results listings. That is a visible online presence!
Here’s why you need to be on the first page…
Listed below, is a study of nearly 10 million searches that shows which results listing was clicked:
Total Searches: 9,038,794
Total Clicks: 4,926,623
Listing #1: 2,075,765 – 42%
Listing #2: 586,100 – 12%
Listing #3: 418,643 – 8%
Listing #4: 298,532 – 6%
Listing #5: 242,169 = 5%
Listing #6: 199,541 = 4%
Listing #7: 168,080 = 3%
Listing #8: 148,489 = 3%
Listing #9: 140,356 = 2%
Listing #10: 147,551 = 3%
As you can see, of the 4,926,623 clicks, 4,425,226 clicked on a first page result listing. This means only 501,397, or 10%, continued on to subsequent pages.
It also shows that position number one received nearly half of the total clicks .
The conclusion is, if your business isn’t in the top spot, or at least on the first page, a Google listing will have very little impact on delivering new customers.
