Why you need a Mobile Website
You’ve seen the statistics. But do they apply to your business in your city?
The answer is yes. The Mobile Web, even more than the desktop web, permeates virtually every corner of the globe – and that includes your corner.
There’s simply no way a business can safely ignore the Mobile Web.
In the past, customers would use the yellow pages at home to look for a business that would take care of their immediate need. That was the beauty of the yellow pages. If I wanted a pizza, a plumber or a pet store right now, I can probably find one quickly.
Somewhere along the way, the yellow pages was replaced by the Internet and Google Local Search. Now I can not only find who delivers pizza, I can order it online. I can find a pet store and view a map of their location. If you ask someone under the age of 40 (and many over that age) for their phone book these days, they probably have no idea where it is. The phone company still delivers them – and businesses pay for ads based on the number of books in circulation – but most of the books that are delivered are never looked at.
The next step is the Mobile Web. Again, Google plays a large part. More and more, when a customer is on the move, looking for that pizza, plumbing part or pet store, they use their cell handset to look it up. In one step they can find it, map it and initiate a phone call.
Being found on the Mobile Web and having a mobilized website that is efficient and provides the important information will be crucial to your business success in the coming years.
Restaurants, salons, realtors, spas, travel destinations, attractions, movie theaters, etc. are especially in need of a solid presence on the Mobile Web.
