Studies and surveys had shown that consumers in ever increasing numbers, are searching online for your goods and services. So it is very important that we understand exactly what they want to know when they do come to our website or even see one of our ads online.
Consumers want:
- Your phone number, they want to connect with you and hear your voice
- Your address, they want to know your location so they can find you
- Your hours of operation, they want to know when they can contact you
- Your website for more details …maybe
Wow and here you thought your customers wanted all the details about your education, family history, your green widgets.. just kidding of course, you knew this right?

I really doubt it very much, you could put that on your about page or your own personal page, but right now most prospects don’t care how many children you have, what your wife’s name is, where you graduated from, or that you graduated with honors.
On the Internet people want to know if you have what they’re looking for, is it the right brand, do you have enough of it, maybe a few details about it and perhaps how it will be delivered. So let’s pick something, I choose hay, I want to sell some hay and I want to let people know about it, so let me show you what I do to sell my mythical hay crop, let me count the ways.
