Local businesses like residential contractors don't need much in terms of online marketing, and there are a ton of free and low-cost options for building and hosting a website.
So why are local sites usually so terrible? So many are slow-loading, unpolished and rarely updated.
The reason is local business owners don't have the time or the money to devote to building a thriving web presence. After they get an initial website set up, it languishes for months and years instead of growing and providing continuous value.
That's like throwing an apple core on the ground and expecting an orchard to grow.
What should they do instead?
- Start with a simple, performant website that has optimized on-page SEO
- Add new content regularly
- Share that content on social-media channels, especially their business profile on Google
The formula is straightforward and proven, and there are many services out there business owners can use to get it done. Yet few small-business owners pull it off.
Kicksplash drastically simplifies the process by starting with a well-considered default site and then focusing solely on building a strong base of SEO-optimized content.
Business owners don't need to do anything but approve the website changes we recommend.
Specifically, Kicksplash solves the problem by providing
- A simple site optimized out of the box
- Automatic content creation
- Automatic content sharing on social media
- Access to a human who can answer your questions and provide continuous hands-on help
