Here are just a few quotes you will see:

  • "Over 50% of new internet connections already come from mobile devices and its growing.... Mobile is big and it's going to change your business."

  • "Mobile search has grown 400% in the past year"

  • "Mobile is extremely local."

  • "Your consumers are on mobile. You need to be on mobile too."

  • "Mobile is not a trend. It is a new era, and it is not too late to be early."

 

I've seen some mobile websites. I think they look terrible.

Indeed sites can be very different in functionality and appearance which can be as frustrating as trying to look at a traditional website on a smart phone. The Countywebsite.com solution is consumer intuitive with recognizable icons for ease in navigation. Think of a mobile device as the executive summary of your business with options to get more detailed information with a simple touch of a recognizable icon.

How will this affect my business? My business is not a restaurant where immediate access would be desired as consumers are driving.

You may think that your business is not one that someone will search while driving... but consider this... "Nielsen says that 86% of mobile phone users use the mobile Internet while watching TV. Ask yourself, how does mobile tie into your other media campaigns? Then integrate your media efforts." A person may be sitting idly watching TV and looks across the room thinking... I really need to do something about my kitchen cabinets, or I need to get this room painted, or any number of things. A commercial comes on…and they start to multi-task on their phone.

I get great results with my website. Will this really bring me new business that I would not already get from my website marketing?

Research has shown that mobile friendly websites produced an average of 75% higher rate of consumer engagement (revenue, page views, etc.) per visit by mobile users. Nearly 1 in 5 visits to a small business mobile friendly site leads to an immediate call to the business.

Another quote:

  • “Approximately 100 million tablets and smart phones are in the marketplace.” As more and more of these devices get into the hands of consumers, the way in which search markets evolve for both consumers and businesses is critical. Data shows that “mobile search sites have the highest click through rate by greater than 20%.
