Website Owners Get Help Choosing The Right Online Marketing Methods With SiteCenter.com

MAIDENHEAD, U.K. - May 20, 2014 - PRLog -- A typical small business owner finds it a challenge to invest enough time and resources into all the areas of their business that need attention. When the phone keeps ringing, accounts need doing and meetings need to be held, running a small business becomes about prioritizing, often at the expense of long-term business development.

This is reflected in the fact that most small businesses that own a website see a slight surge in visitors after launch (by the owner's friends, family and clients), followed by a flat-lining visitor graph, with the website owner wondering exactly what went wrong. They either fail to see that, with millions of websites out there, it's more important than ever to actively engage in online marketing, or they don't consider online marketing a priority.

After investing time and money into commissioning a website, why should the small business owner come to consider their website as a destination for existing customers, instead of a means with which to attract new customers? Every small business owner is wary of losing money or wasting time, so it's more important than ever to channel funds and resources only into online marketing efforts that will generate results.

Now Ross McDonald, founder of SiteCenter.com, has a solution: The Online Marketing Checkup, which is completely free. It takes only a few minutes to complete the marketing wizard, which asks a set of questions about the website owner's existing marketing efforts, industry, revenue model and website content. Once completed, the website owner will receive a personalized, in-depth report which details what needs to be improved and what online marketing channels the business owner should be concentrating on.

"The online marketing checkup is great for new and established websites for finding out whether you are using the right online marketing and SEO methods," McDonald explained. "Even if you really know what you are doing, it helps you to focus on what you should continue to do."
