The importance of search engine optimization can hardly be overstated in the increasingly cluttered online business environment of today. Aside from social media, the major search engines are the main ways in which potential consumers find new businesses. As general searches and generic keywords became over saturated with competition, the search engines responded by investing in local search, which provides a great service to small communities and businesses by limiting results to local entities.



Any business, especially small business, which does not take full advantage of the new local search technologies does itself a great disservice. Proper search engine optimization combined with a focus on local search can provide a business with visibility and retention far beyond any medium before it, especially in the highly stratified state of Florida.



Why Local Businesses Need to Invest In Search Engine Optimization



Customers do not find new restaurants by saying to themselves, I want to go to the new restaurant called ‘X.' Wow! Isn't that something! ...
... I didn't even know that restaurant existed, but now, all of a sudden, I want to patronize it!



What customers do is access the Internet, after discussing with their loved ones that they would probably like some Greek food tonight. They will type into the local search box Greek restaurants, and probably go to the first restaurant they see with an attractive web site.



This impulse can actually be quantified - the first restaurant will get around 75% of the first views (this is generally accepted among search engine analysts), and if their web site is good, the customers will not even visit the rest of the restaurants. If it is not, the second web site will then get around 64% of the remaining views, while about 19% will click on the third link. Beyond the third link, the click through rate drops tremendously.



Or a passenger will open up his or her mobile device and check for Cajun restaurants in the area as they are driving. No less than 95% will patronize the first restaurant that pops up [Analytics EU].



The point? Search engine optimization is geared towards helping people search out things the way that people NATURALLY search for things. With good search engine optimization focused in a local market, you can have customers who would have literally never known who you were.



Costs of Search Engine Optimization



To perform search engine optimization properly requires an investment of around US $400 to US $2000 per month, depending on the competition of your keywords and industry. You can minimize this cost by choosing niche oriented long tail keywords (but that is a completely different article).



However, good search engine optimization is worth its weight in start up costs as every penny can be quantitatively tracked from start to finish using the analytics programs of the search engines. Properly analyzed, an SEO campaign can be made profitable much faster and with much more accuracy than any type of advertising campaign.
