Internet marketing in 2009 for service pros.

In 2009, cost effective Internet marketing will be a necessity. The days of casually cruising for clients or just putting in a Yellow pages ad are long gone. As many as 80% of all potential clients out there turn to the Internet first, before looking into the Yellow Pages and newspapers. That is up from 60% in 2006. That is a huge increase!

The small business owner and in this case the building trade professional or small business contractor will need to be aggressive and techno-savy with your marketing just to survive. The economy is in a shift phase and it will never resemble the past familiar form, the form of newspaper ads and phone book ads.

Small business website design must adjust to the market and offer affordable business website options, but I seriously doubt most designers are up to this challenge.


Well, we could not have been better with our timing, by offering extremely affordable and fast small business website development for building trade professionals, you have a tool that actually makes the modern day reality of marketing easier!

Roofing business website

When designing a website for your roofing business keep in mind that your website needs to be optimized for the web to be seen in local searches. You can explore this blog for how that works and what you need to do. In these tight economic times it is vital that you be seen online, but you already knew that didn't you? Learn why you need a website for your roofing business.

The first question that comes to mind once you get that realization is, what does it cost? Well, we encourage you to call around in your area to see for yourself what the typical price of a roofing website is. You WILL be shocked at some of the quotes. There is just no way you can justify spending $3k- 10k+ (up front!) on a website under these tight economic circumstances or any circumstance!

There are alternatives. Design your own business website and spend over 100 hours creating a business website that will not even be optimized for the web search engines. What is your time worth? what do you charge per hour? $50 per hour +? That means you will spend $5k of your own time!

Or try out Site-O-Rific risk free. What is the total cost of a Site-O-Rific website? $750! Do you have to pay it all up front? no, only $150 up front and $24.95 per month.
If you are in need of a roofing website for your roofing business, then you have come to the right place.

In these turbulent economic times, it is critical for your plumbing business to be seen online. It is the most cost effective way to get seen by more and more people that are staying home. Your service is a necessary one and that does help you to weather the storm so-to-speak with a recession.

One aspect of a recession that can help your plumbing business is to have a website that is easily found on the Internet. More people stay home and surf the web in hard economic times, because it is a distraction and it is practically free to do so. So when someone is online surfing and a pipe breaks, the first thing they will do is to look for a plumber online. They will search for you and find you if you are ready!
