Search Engines and Small Business

by Stuart Livesey

Sometimes I just want to sit here and bang my head on the desk

Well we’re back - in a temporary, casual, off-handed sort of way till after New Year’s Day when we’ll be back into work full time. This break has been absolutely wonderful although it hasn’t been without it’s frustrations.

On Christmas Eve Toni’s main computer died thanks to a part of the operating system suddenly becoming corrupted. Then it started to rain and went on raining for three days so all our plans to have fun outdoors with the family got washed away.

But today Toni’s PC is fixed and it has stopped raining - just in time for us to put the family on the plane and send them home.

Search Engines and Small Business

Over the last three months of this year Toni has begun to move her small business into web design and search engine optimisation. It’s really nothing new for us because we’ve been doing it for years for ourselves but now we’re offering our services in those areas to small business here in Hervey Bay.

And that is where the head-banging comes in. There are so many small business people out there who simply do not understand what large amounts of time and effort are required to get their sites ranking well on Google and the other search engines.

Instead they either think that they have to do no search engine optimisation and somehow their sites will rank well in Google almost by magic or they think that search engine optimisation just isn’t for their small business.

If you’re one of those small business people who can’t see that your website needs any search engine optimisation then read 5 Myths about SEO

Hopefully that article will help to change your mind.
