			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h1>Why worry about being to be found on the web?</h1>
<p><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px;">Try this &#8211; go to <a href="http://www.google.com" onclick="urchinTracker('/outgoing/www.google.com?referer=');">www.google.com</a> and search for your type of business and the town you are in &#8211; how many times do you appear on the first page? If it&#39;s less than at least 4 entries we need to have a chat&#8230;&#8230;<br />
	</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px;">Searching on the web is now how people search for local businesses. And the most common way bar none is Google, in fact people now use the term called &#39;Google It&#39; rather thane search the web for. And because you can accurately specify what you are looking for and get the answers back instantly there is no choice but to get your business online, effectively!<br />
	</span></span></p>
<h2><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px;">Having a Website is a great starting place to be found on the web but is it just a brochure and information service or can your prospective customer engage with you? </span></span></h2>
<p><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px;">Is it readily available if someone searches in Google your type of business in your town? Do you have a YouTube channel for video&#39;s, a Facebook Page? Are you able to constantly monitor and keep your business on page 1 of Google? Do not worry if you don&#39;t have these essential tools and don&#39;t worry if you don&#39;t understand it all &#8211; I do! After all your <strong>main business</strong> is what you do to acquire new clients and retain existing customers, let me sort the online marketing for you, with prices starting from &pound;245 one time set up fee and &pound;245 monthly charge, it won&#39;t break the bank.<br />
	</span></span></p>
<h3><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px;">Get your website&#39;s effectiveness reviewed for no cost to see if its found on the web easily.</span></span></h3>

	</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px;">I make sure your business is found very easily by people searching the internet, using <strong>Google, Yahoo, Bing</strong> plus a host of there sites such as: YouTube, Facebook, Twitter and Flickr. For a small monthly fee you can immediately measure your ROI with access to &#39;live&#39; lead/prospect data.<br />
	</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px;">Did you know 90% of internet searches contain both a <span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 0);">Product / Service</span> and a <span style="background-color: rgb(0, 255, 255);">Town / Area / Post Code</span>, for a typical example: </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px;"><span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 0);">&quot;pizza delivery</span><span style="background-color: rgb(0, 255, 255);"> Reading</span>&quot; &#8211; so if you are not being found by these very seriously interested customers and your competitors are &#8211; they will get the business, a fact.<br />
	</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px;">For an informal chat to see how Local <i>Lead Generation</i> could increase your profits, call me on 07967 784820 or email <a href="mailto:info@gavinthorne.com">Gavin&#39;s email</a><br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="font-size: 14px;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">For any business larger or small a <b>Website</b> is essential and they need not cost a small fortune</span>, a starter <i>Website</i> will cost &pound;297 and remember once is is properly indexed by the search engines it appears 24&#215;7 working for your business.<br />
	</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14px;">Ofcourse you can do so much more with a <u>Website</u> than just use it as a shop front to your business -&nbsp; you can start to gather visitor email addresses and send them out follow up emails about products, services or helpful free tips to build a relationship with your future clients or you could add on a shopping cart and sell your products and services fully automated, I can help you with all of that. <br />
	</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14px;">So yes you need to have a Website and no it does not need to cost a small fortune.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14px;">Getting listed locally online for your product or service is vital as 90% of Google searches are for local companies, so if you are not visible and your competitors are you are literally giving away your profits&#8230;..</span></p>
