So you're thinking of starting a business.
Cool. (We'll get to the part where we'll just touch on SEO and what it is.)
This little blog post is something that you'll want to read and pay close attention to.
Especially if you're thinking of starting a online business.
You should listen too if you already own a brick and mortar business but you've been putting going online off for decades now because you've just been to busy.
Okay, here's the statistics.
MOBILE
73 % of searches online are mobile triggered
28% of these searches done on mobile results in a conversion (someone buys a product or service)
45% searches for mobile users are goal oriented - which means they're actually for a product or service to solve their problems.
50% of searches for local business, product and services are from mobile users. Woah.
ONLINE SEARCHES

90 % says that their buying decision are based on reviews online.
How about that?
Do you think it's at least worth a few minutes of time to find out more about how all this can affect your bottom line?
