Having a presence on the mobile Internet is increasingly vital for a local business. Millions of consumers now search on their iPhones, Blackberries and other mobile devices to find what they need. In its first year, for example, the DexKnows.com mobile app saw local business searches skyrocket.
But standard websites don’t convert well to tiny mobile phone screens – they are slow, hard to read and hard to load. To gain traction with mobile consumers you need a streamlined site designed specifically for the mobile web – a costly and time-consuming step most local businesses have delayed taking.
One way to get a powerful and effective mobile presence instantly and cheaply is to register and set up a .tel domain for your business or brand. This is not like other domains or websites. The .tel domain is completely standardized. Everyone’s site looks essentially the same, listing phone contacts, store of office locations, email addresses, websites, social networking pages, map location link, special deal information and – importantly – keywords.
Get full details on .tel domains and where to register at Telnic. The registration fee for a .tel domain (as low as $9.95/year) includes everything – the site, standard design, hosting and tools to enter or change your information instantly at any time, which makes it not only a good deal, but easy to set up. Check out these live examples for restaurants, sports clubs, bars, retail stores and travel agencies.
Having a mobile website is very important today. More and more people are using their mobile devices to find local businesses now.
It is crazy how fast technology is coming along. I remember 10 years ago when you would pick up a huge phone book to find a local business. Now all you do is pick up your cell phone or blackberry and type it in.
My new phone will even give you navigational directions to the place.
If you own a small business and you don’t have a mobile website, you are missing out on potential customers right now, and with as fast as technology is moving, you are going to miss out a lot more in the future.
