Seth Godin has a great blog on marketing. If you haven't read any of his books on business marketing, you've been missing out. He's on the forefront of what the most effective businesses are doing to grow revenue. In a recent post to his blog he talks about using your website to connect with customers. If your company has a website, read his stuff. He'll help you drive more revenue. Click here to read his posting.

After reading his most recent post, I had a few thoughts. Here's a secret: local businesses have a huge advantage to capture local consumers. I'm sure at some point the big guys will figure something out, but for now the search engines favor a local niche businesses when the consumer is looking for something specific. Try googling "port chester tire repair". You won't get Costco's tire repair service (which is in Port Chester, NY), you'll get a list of local tire repair places. The best part is that you've found exactly what you want in seconds and the business has found exactly what it wants a customer with a need.

Once a local consumer clicks on a site, it better help that consumer achieve whatever they are looking to do. If I click on the link of a tire repair place I don't want a list of every tire that they sell, I want an appointment asap and the site better help me do just that. An effective website isn't about showcasing a business, it's about help the consumer get something accomplished. - Greg Skidmore
