It is often a challenge figuring out how to get your business to the top of a Google search, with businesses trying search engine optimization (SEO) and search engine marketing (SEM) tactics in an attempt to climb the page results.
But did you know that when consumers search for your company, it is likely you’re already at the top? That’s right, thanks to a little company called “Yelp,” your company page shows up right along with countless reviews. Wait, you didn’t know you had a Yelp page?
Over 1.2 billion people are now using their mobile devices to access the web. Research shows that 57% of these users will abandon a website if it takes more than 3 seconds to load and 30% will drop a purchase completely if the shopping cart isn’t optimized for mobile use. More searches take place on phones than on computers in 10 countries, the US and Japan included, thanks to some information released by Google.
If customers are pinching to zoom in or scratching their head looking for answers then you've already lost them. If you haven’t made the move towards mobile optimization, you are losing traffic, customers and money.
Seattle is HOT! Well okay, we still have our umbrellas by the door, but one thing’s for sure – the city is experiencing a great deal of growth! In fact, industry estimates suggest that in in 20 years, Seattle will have 120,000 more people, 115,000 more jobs and 70,000 more households. So much growth is expected, that the city is working through its Seattle 2035 plan now to ensure its old and new residents still enjoy the Seattle that they’ve come to love and expect.
It’s no surprise then, that the Urban Land Institute and PwC have ranked Seattle number 8 overall on its annual list of Emerging Trends in Real Estate.
So what makes the so often cloudy Seattle so hot?
