Calling All Locksmiths!! PEOPLE ARE SEARCHING FOR YOU

9 comments
Calling all locksmiths in the Oxford, MS area!  PEOPLE ARE LOOKING FOR YOU

How many people out there actually believe that a locksmith would need a website?  Probably not many people.  However, I am here to tell you that a locksmith (or any service provider for that matter) does indeed need a website... even if it is only one page.  The reason, as always, is that people are using search engines to find services of all kinds.

Inconvenient searches.  This is a term that I use for search phrases that people type into Google that they did not plan on searching for throughout their day.  Examples of an inconvenient search include terms such as:  oxford ms locksmith, oxford ms air conditioning repair, oxford ms oil change, oxford ms tire repair, oxford ms taxi... you get the point.  It is something that is inconvenient.  However inconvenient, the point is that we still do use search engines to find these types of services. 

Typically, I do not plan on locking my keys in my car... but if I do I know what I'm doing... pulling out my iPhone and Googling "locksmith oxford ms".

The power of mobile search is reason enough for inconvenient search service providers to have a web presence.  If you lock your keys in your car, you no longer have to freak out because you do not have a locksmiths phone number in your phone... you just pull out your smart phone and Google it.  The mobile web is experiencing phenomenal growth rates and more and more people are using their mobile device to access the Internet everyday.  For this reason, all small businesses need to incorporate Internet marketing into their marketing budgets.  We are searching for anything and everything on our hand-held Google machines... including inconvenient searches!

In the case of locksmiths in Oxford, MS there are about 28 searches on Google each month for the phrase "locksmith oxford ms".  Now, that may not be very much search volume, but it is an opportunity for a local locksmith to bring in more business because nearly everyday somebody is inconveniently locking their keys in their car and they are most likely pulling out their smart phone and Googling "locksmith oxford ms".  These people are desperately asking for a locksmith... they want to pay money for your service!


Quite simply:  Without a web presence, the opportunity is lost.

Good Look From Clayton O'Donnell Law

1 comments

Simple But Appealing
(www.claytonodonnell.com)

The Clayton O'Donnell law firm website is looking great.  They have 3 locations in north Mississippi: Oxford, Tupelo, and Corinth.  Having a professional website such as this one is a great addition to your business but if your website is not receiving any traffic then what's the real reason in having one?  These days your customers and potential clients are searching for you and for your services that you offer.

The fastest way for them to find you would be a search engine.  I had a client ask me the other day, "Why do people go to Google so much and search for all the problems they have", I gave a big smile and replied, "It takes little to no effort, that's why".  It's convenient and fast.  Who doesn't like fast and easy results?  With it being convenient, meaning, it's now in the palm of your hand.  I would have to say 8 out of 10 people have the Internet on their phone.  This cuts out all that time you use to spend hunting for that damn phone book at your office or home.  With the time that it takes you to find that phone book you could already have your questions answered in a few seconds by going to your trustworthy friend...  GOOGLE.

Your potential customer and clients are searching for YOU, YOU have to be there.  This is called search engine marketing and it's a must for your business to implement if you want your business to be in business in the coming years.

The design of the home page is simple but I do like the pictures that fade in and fade out.  P.O.G. has done a very similar layout to this.  Randall Perkins Group is a commercial real estate brokerage firm here in Oxford, MS.  Click Here to view a very similar function of the rotating pictures. 

Not real sure about the half picture frame on the pages.  The empty space on the home page needs immediate attention.  Add some content there, more content the better.

Tracking, tracking, tracking is extremely important.  Your website has to have a tracking code on all your web pages.  The importance of tracking is equivalent to having a new home built and leaving off the roof.  Having a home without a roof is pointless right?  This is the same as having a website and not having Google Analytics installed on your web pages to track your visitors.

Ahhh Yes! Google Maps.. Is a must have on your location page on your website.  Clayton O'Donnell law firm does have Google Maps, major plus!
