Why Bother Getting Found Online?

Online is where your customers get started with the purchase process.

Why bother getting found online? That's where people start the purchase process.

When prospective customers start to research and educate themselves about their problems and the options available to them, they go online, to a search engine. When they do, they search using generic search terms rather than brand or company names. They're searching for information that will inform them, help educate them and make them smarter about how to deal with the issues they face.

If your business doesn't show up in those search results, it doesn't have a chance to even be considered. You will have missed out on a sales opportunity. 

Did you know that 62% of business buyers say they spend more time researching products and services online during the procurement process.

And online research is universal across B2B categories and has been increasing steadily since 2007.

It is also universal across all audiences. More specifically, 65% of the C-Suite conduct 6+ work-related searches daily; 99% of small business owners say search engines are the most effective tool for finding suppliers; and 100% of policy influencers use the web to research issues.

Finally, offline exposure prompts more online search: word-of-mouth: 66%; print ads: 64%; TV: 53% and radio: 40%.

So, if you aren't found online when your prospects research their problems and come across your solutions or thoughtful content, if they do reach out to you through traditional means, at least 60 to 70% of their decision-making process will be done when they contact you. At that point, it may be too late to influence them to consider your solution.
