Most business promotion websites sit there and do nothing
What everyone secretly suspects is actually true.  People do not sit at home trawling through countless business websites looking for inspiration to spend money.   Instead people use the web to find information that they want.  For this they use search engines.  They will also visit what I call destination sites.  Places that have a personal interest for them or a place where they know that they can reliably find the information that they need.  As a business owner you need to have an effective web presence and a standalone website by itself is no longer enough.
Ask yourself a simple question
If I were looking for something to do tonight would I go to a website for a single venue or would I go to a site which told me what was going on in all of the local venues.
People tend to sift through information, find something that they are interested in and then zoom in for more information.  They will leave a page in less than 10 seconds if it does not offer them what they are looking for.
How is BigNoticeBoard.co.uk different?
BigNoticeBoard offers you three things.
  • Visibility to the search engines.  For a normal website it would cost hundrends and probably thousands of pounds worth of search engine optimisation and marketing to climb to the top of the search engines.  For local based searches with BigNoticeBoard this is almost implicit.
  • Meaningful web presence.  Your webpages will make up part of a hub of local webpages and local information that has been created by local people.  A place where people go for local information.
  • The opportunity to promote your business in 6 distinct ways.  Through the notice boards that visitors browse, through asking and answering questions on the BigNoticeBoard Talk Boards, through special offers and promotions, through events on the BigNoticeBoard event calendar, through the local Newsletter that is sent out to local subscribers every week and finally through the search engines.  We spend time and effort making sure our site is right for the search engines so you won't have to.
