Are you in or around Warrnambool and looking for a new website design for your business?
Why not leverage Regional Rising’s 20+ years’ experience in web design and let us build one for you? We’re based in Warrnambool!
In today's digital age, having a website is no longer optional for aspiring and established small businesses – it's essential!
A website provides a window into your business. It’s a virtual storefront and one of the most important tools a business can have in its toolkit.
Unlike ever changing and unpredictable social media platforms, a website gives you more control, strengthens brand identity, improves discoverability and provides a comprehensive and reliable location for important business information.
Customers are more likely to trust a business with a website and having a professional-looking site boosts credibility and legitimacy. According to the auDA, three of four Australian consumers will only purchase from a business online if they have a website and three of five Australian consumers choose .au websites when shopping online.
But you already know why you need a website or you wouldn’t be reading this page!
Website design + Search Engine Optimisation (SEO): a killer combo
SEO (search engine optimisation) is a set of processes aimed at improving a website’s visibility in search engines, like Google and Bing, with the goal of getting more organic traffic.
SEO goes hand-in-hand with a new website launch and should even be included in the planning stage of a new website build. In fact, SEO research will influence the structure and page titles of your new site and should be identified before you build your site.
Failure to do SEO can have tragic consequences for a business. If you don’t show up on Google when your prospects search for what you’re selling, you may as well not exist at all!
Regional Rising can help increase your revenue by putting your business in front of more people on Google. More traffic to your website leads to more enquiries and sales leads which results in increased revenue.
