Google tells Welsh firms they are losing business without web presence
Reading a new article sourced from BBC News (27th Jan 2011)‘Google tells Welsh firms they are losing business without web presence’ revealed that 40% of businesses in Wales have no on-line presence. Google said UK government figures show some 83,000 Welsh firms do not have a website of their own to promote their goods or services. I for one was quite shocked to hear this as having boosted many businesses sales with webdesign and social media marketing, I have seen the benefits and ROI (return on investment) that it has brought. The Welsh government has urged business to use digital technology to “innovate, grow and access new markets” (BBC News)
40% of businesses in Wales have no on-line presence
In one case study, Sofatech UK came to us some 6 years ago (has it been that long already!) requiring a website with the most important aspect being that it appeared on Google. We are pretty pleased with ourselves that it appears NO.1 on Google and Yahoo! for keywords “sofa repair, wakefield” and also appears on Page 1 for the surrounding areas their business covers. It is no surprise then that it has boosted their business.
Keeping in touch with Gary from Sofatech he told us…
We have had a lot of enquiries from our website, is has been very useful for bringing in new business
which is great news for them, and to us! Take a look at their website www.sofatechuk.co.uk
