CorniGOpia is dedicated to helping local businesses get found, improve their search engine visibility, and grow their businesses like never before.
We've always felt that most small business websites fall short. Too many other website companies talk the big talk and make big promises but deliver minimum results, and local businesses suffer for it. No more!
CorniGOpia is changing how things are done by giving local businesses a website that delivers results and that their customers love.
Your website must
do these three things
Your business MUST show up on Google for anyone in your local area searching for what you serve in "near me" search queries.
Google's Consumer Insights has reported a 900%+ increase
in "near me" searches the past two years.
People are more and more turning to Google and searching for "SOMETHING I WANT near me", like "Restaurants near me" or "Mechanic near me", etc
Your business MUST show up for searches like this if you rely upon people coming through your door.
For example, our founder recently traveled to Chicago, and was looking for good local sushi restaurant. He pulled out his phone and asked Google to find "Sushi near me" and chose where to eat based upon the results. On his way to eat, he passed 2 other sushi places that didn't come up in his search results. Missed opportunity and missed customers .
If you have a local business, you NEED to come up during "near me" searches.
Your services or menu page NEEDS to be part of your website.
A downloadable PDF or image is a poor substitution and hurts your search engine visibility.
(Keep reading to find out why)
If your services page or menu is a downloadable PDF or image, you are giving your customers a terrible online experience, and it hurts your search engine visibility and ranking.
For search engines, if your it's in a PDF or a photo, the items won't help your search rankings. If someone searches for a type of food on your breakfast menu -- for example "French Toast" -- and adds "near me," your restaurant should show up in the search results. (Like in the example to the right.) This ONLY happens if your menu is part of your website.
For the user experience, visitors looking for your services page or menu first have to download a PDF or image. Then they have to zoom in on their phones (needing 2 hands) to read anything. That's a very unfriendly and cumbersome experience. Website visitors should be able to browse your entire menu page from any smartphone with one hand, and everything should be easily readable.
You MUST have easy to find Hours and Directions.
Better yet, have an embedded Google Map so People can get GPS directions easily.
If people find you online and browse your site, they are going to want to come to your business. The next thing they are looking for is if you are open, and how to get to your there. Both must be easy to find online.
CorniGOpia's Promise to You
We promise that your website will show up for people using "near me" searches to find the type of service you provide
We promise that your services page or menu will be online, easy to navigate, and be indexed by search engines.
We promise that website visitors will easily find your hours and directions to your business.
