Did you know SEO is dead?
We have been marketing local businesses on search engines so that the customers can find the business. Over the past couple of years, AI assistants including Google Assistant, Amazon Alexa, Apple Siri, and many more have changed this around for local businesses targetting local customers.
Here is why SEO doesn’t work anymore
Over 50% of the online searches are conducted from a mobile device.
58% of consumers have used voice search to find local business information within the last year
46% of voice search users look for a local business daily
27% visit the website of a local business after conducting a voice search
76% of smart home speaker users conduct local searches at least once aweek
with 53% performing daily searches
When you search from a mobile device for a local business, you will hardly ever scroll to the organic result section. Even from the desktop, the very first organic search results are pushed after the ads and Google Maps or Business listing section. This is nothing that any marketing company can control unless Google makes changes to the result page. See it for your self in the following section.

Ok, I get it. So, what?
Are you sure you are doing the right marketing?
Have you heard of Amazon Alexa? Google Home? Apple HomePod? Beginning last year, we have seen the explosion of smart speaker sales.
If people can’t find your business from these devices and you are still not doing anything about it, you need to take actions as soon as possible to survive this market trend.
Remember those businesses that became so much success because they were early adopters of the social media, SEO, Yelp, and you name it.
We often find clients who complain about how they used to be better than the shop next door, but one day they started getting all the customers.
You still have a chance to be one of those who was very successful because of the very smart decision they made one point in time.
We can help you get well equipped for this new technology-driven market for a fraction of what most businesses pay for SEO service.
