New Service Launched to Help Local Businesses Market Themselves on the Internet

Dec. 28, 2010 - PRLog -- How to get attention? Local businesses struggle to be seen on search engines and to be found amongst the millions of pages that are served up to searchers.

That was the dilemma facing one Melbourne florist who didn't even have his own website. So he turned to an old friend he knew who was pretty switched on with the whole internet thing.

"At the time my mate approached me. I was quietly working on my own sites and keeping my head down" reports Peter Guiliano. "I took a look at the search volume for florists in Melbourne Australia and there were about 10 million competing pages."

Undaunted, Guiliano went ahead and put up the site and did all the SEO. Within a couple of weeks his friend's site was showing up with several spots on the front page of Google for his targeted keyword phrases.

"Word quickly got around and soon people were asking me to do the same for them. I had a brand new business" he said.

Guiliano thought he'd better prove his skills with his own site and again it only took two weeks. This time he was in the SEO market and up against the heavy hitters. They'd been in business for years against his weeks; they had thousands of backlinks, he had none.

That didn't stop him from winning multiple front page listings on Google. "Local Business Marketing Melbourne" 6.4 million results, first place plus 3 other spots on the front page. Second place out of 9.1 million results for "Online Local Business Marketing Plan". The first 7 places for "local business marketing consultant Melbourne".

"Within my first month, I'd been approached by an award winning Australian cinematographer who wasn't even showing up at all on Google. That was for his own name! And his website url was his name but it just did not return one page anywhere."

Straight away the famous man was even famous on Google with a dozen keywords delivering him up high on the front page.

"Being found is only the beginning" Guiliano claims. From there you need to be encouraging searchers to do what you want them to be doing... buying, visiting, acting on your behalf.

"That's my main skill. Marketing. Getting the right actions to happen in the shortest time frame" that's the real skill accourding to Peter Guiliano.

That will give you a good starting point to making the internet work for your business.
