Getting your business online
When you last needed to find a business provider, what means did you use to search for and locate a service? Increasingly, online search engines such as Google are being used. This begs the question, does your business have a presence on the Internet?
According to the Getting Aussie Business Online website (www.gettingbusinessonline.com.au) the Internet is now the first place Australians go to find information about businesses.
Getting Aussie Business Online set up by Google and MYOB aims to help 50,000 Australian businesses get online with their first website.
The website provides businesses the opportunity to set up an easy to update website for one year and a free .com.au domain for two years.
Having a web presence for no upfront cost allows you to, over time, assess the relevance and benefit of a website to your business. Business owners can analyse whether business growth has occurred as a result of the new web presence. If it has, you may wish to invest in further enhancing your website design and improving the services you provide clients through your online presence.
