Now is a great time to be a small business owner.

The internet has leveled the playing field like never before – allowing even the newest entrepreneur to cost-effectively compete with the biggest and most entrenched businesses in town.

Crucially, it also allows small business owners to laser focus their marketing efforts on the very consumers who want or need the product or service that their business provides – people in your area who are searching for your type of business on Google right now!
