The answer to this is, “It depends.” It depends on whether you care about growing your business or not. If you want your business to grow and succeed, then yes, you need a Web presence and you need people to be able to find you on the Web. The web IS THE WORLD!
The statistics are staggering, showing that having a Web strong presence is favorable for all types of businesses. Ten years ago, it wasn’t so important to be on the Web because relatively few people had Internet access. Today, however, the Web is quickly replacing traditional media in many areas. A perfect example of this can be seen in the recent decline of yellow pages usage in favor of the Internet when looking for local business information.
Let’s take a look at a very well-known example of a non-Internet based business: the fast-food restaurant chain Wendy’s. Despite not being an online business, they have a website. Why? Because they know that there are a lot of people like me that want information about what’s on their menu, how many calories are in their single-cheese combo, where the nearest Wendy’s is when I’m in unfamiliar territory, and so forth.
In fact, recent research conducted by Marchex shows that 86 percent of Internet users in 2007 preferred to use search engines to research or find local businesses. This number has been trending upward over the last several years.
Since search engines are the #1 place people are going to find a place that offers the products and services you provide, not having a website can be quite detrimental to your business, especially if your competition does have a website.
Reviews by customers or clients who have had experience with your business could boost your business profits or vice versa. People rely on reviews to make decisions if they want to do business with you. They will utilize the search engines online to look for your business and reviews on it.
Just as bad is having a website that nobody knows about. In other words, yes, you will benefit from SEO regardless of the type of business you run.
