Small Business Gets Help from CIBUR Foundation Saving Them Hundreds of Dollars

Oct. 3, 2011 - PRLog -- People are no longer using the yellow pages when searching for local products and services. People are using the internet and mobile phones to search and find local products and services.

To get your business at the top of local search results you must use the Google local listings.

On average a business can gain 8 to 10 new prospects every month depending upon the industry. This can dramatically increase ROI for a small business.

Less than 7% of small businesses are using their local listings to get their products and services In front of people searching for them.

It is a known fact that the business with the best technology rules In today's highly technical marketplace because consumers are demanding interaction and cross-communication from businesses.

This country is going through a transition from the industrial age to the technological age, just as it did 100 years ago when it moved from the agricultural age into the industrial age. We know what happened to businesses that did not embrace the change Into the industrial age, they did not survive.

Businesses that want to survive and prosper must embrace new technology and connect with consumers using inter-active cross channel marketing strategies that consumers demand.

Most small businesses suffer from the same issues, 62% of small businesses are not equipped with time, knowledge or staff to implement strategies using new technology.

Google has provided free tools for businesses to use that will put their products and services in front of the local consumers that are searching for them. Another issue that many small businesses share is they do not know how to access and use these free online resources.

The CIBUR Foundation has created a program that connects small business with highly skilled, trained interns that can set up these free resources for a very small one time $25 set up fee with no additional monthly charges.

This will provide the small business owner with a digital presence on the internet so their products and services can be found by the local consumers that are searching for them.

There are many businesses taking advantage of small businesses and charging them hundreds of dollars to set up their local listings on the major search engines plus charging them monthly fees which are un-necessary.

The Google Pros will be contacting your business to see if you are interested In taking advantage of this new CIBUR Foundation program to have your business local listing set up for a one time $25 set up fee with no additional monthly charges.

For many small businesses this will be the only online website they will need and eliminates the need for a costly business website that most of the time will never rank on page 1 of the local search engines.
