Is Your Company’s Online Presence Working?
The Quick Test
For most businesses, it’s very likely that customers will interact with your company more online than in person. It's also the case that nearly everyone searching online for your type of business won't get past the first page of Google results; and once they visit your website, they won't stick around if they can't immediately find what they are looking for.
Because of this, every business needs to ask if they are investing enough in their digital presence to attract attention, drive website traffic, and generate sales leads.
