Because there was a shift taking place. What was that shift? Consumers started using their Smartphone more that their desktop or laptops..

Google announced on June 11, 2013 that “ALL businesses must have mobile websites now to rank well in mobile search!” Why? Because Google research show that 84% of Local searches are from a Smartphone.

Does your business have a mobile-specific website? If not, then you're missing an opportunity to reach on-the-go smartphone consumers.

Yet the rewards for building a mobile site can be great: 67% of mobile users say that when they visit a mobile-friendly site, they're more likely to buy a site's product or service.

The priorities of those viewing the internet on a mobile device are very different from when they are looking at the web from a desktop. A mobile user's intention is almost always to do something RIGHT NOW, as opposed to browsing and informing their interests.

Shop Local Businesses (SLB) a division of a Experts On Yourside & Company specializing in driving Local Shoppers to Local Businesses right in your neighborhood. 

ShopLocalBusinesses.com's goal is to raise awareness of the repercussions of spending money outside of the local community, in particular, on the World Wide Web. Today, computers have made it easy for local consumers to purchase goods and services at the click of a button, but not necessarily knowing geographically where their money is going.

ShopLocalBusinesses.com is challenging local consumers to get involved by thinking before they spend their mutual dollars outside our local community. As a Local Independent Business Owner, it's wise to place your business in front of LOCAL consumers, who will come back to your place of business over and over again. More and more consumers are using the Internet coupled with the fact that over 85% of the households in the Brandon area are connected to the Internet. The World Wide Web is NOW a formidable competitor, competing with you for the local shopping dollars, removing revenue out of the local area and, in most cases, removing those dollars out of Florida and, in many cases, out of the U.S.

If you need a website, ShopLocalBusinesses.com can help. Call our office and we will have one of our Account Executives visit your place of business.
