Atlanta, GA September 9, 2008 -- Radius Online, an interactive marketing agency specializing in local online marketing services for small businesses, today announced the launch of its new Local Online Marketing program for small businesses. The Local Online Marketing program provides small businesses with a website, local search engine optimization, local directory submission and management for $129 dollars per month.
Radius Online | Local Online Marketing for Small Business
Radius Online has been providing small businesses website development and design for nearly eight years and currently serves more than 1,500 customers nationwide - primarily auto repair shops, bars, restaurants and moving companies. The new local online marketing program will enable Radius Online to expand the reach of its services to more than 50 new small business categories over the next six months.
"The way consumers search for goods and services in their local area is rapidly changing," said Vu Hoang, founder and president of Radius Online. "More than 86 percent of Internet searches are now local - and more than two thirds of people use the Internet versus phone books to search for local businesses in their area. We've created an easy and affordable website and local online marketing solution that enables small businesses to capitalize on the more than 1 billion local searches performed every month."
Radius Online's basic Local Online Marketing solution includes the following features:
- A professionally designed and developed website, customized from a library of more than 100 templates (the company does offer custom design for an additional charge)
- A free domain name (such as yourcompanyname.com), Web hosting and email addresses
- Easy-to-use content management system, including pre-developed content widgets for features like online coupons, calendar of events, photo gallery or online video
- Search engine optimization of website and initial submission to search engines such as Google, Yahoo, MSN and Ask.com
- An initial Google AdWords credit of $50 - to begin driving traffic to your website in the first month
- Free Web analytics for monitoring site traffic and other useful return on marketing investment information
- Customer support and solution training - guiding small business owners through the local online marketing process
- Initial submission to free local directories, such as Google Maps, Yelp!, Yahoo Local and more
"A lot of small businesses still think it costs thousands of dollars to get a website up and running," adds Vu Hoang. "They don't realize they can get a website, content management and search engine marketing for a little more than a hundred dollars per month. Only a third of small businesses have a website, yet more than two thirds of consumers are looking for their services online - many small businesses are missing a huge opportunity to grow their business."
Radius Online provides customers with a comprehensive local online marketing solution for a one-time setup fee of $100, which covers setup and administration of a professionally-designed template website, initial search engine marketing research and website optimization, and submission to search engines such as Google, Yahoo, MSN and Ask.com. On a monthly basis, Radius Online monitors the performance of customer websites across all search engines and regularly makes adjustments to improve traffic generation and search engine placement.
"The Radius Online local online marketing solution is the best investment in marketing we've made to date," said Alex Kinjo, co-founder, MFSushibar and a Radius Online customer. "As Atlanta's best sushi restaurant, we drive a lot of traffic locally through word of mouth. Radius Online has helped us reach hundreds of new customers outside of the Atlanta market, such as those traveling for leisure and business. Since signing up, our website now receives more than 50 percent more visitors per month, and reservations are through the roof. I would recommend Radius Online to anyone trying to grow their business in a competitive market."
"Our website is a brochure that reaches hundreds of people looking for a repair facility every day," said Brian Clough, Intown AutoCare, another Radius Online customer. "The website is a reflection of our business - and more importantly, the source of a majority of our new customers. We currently attract hundreds of new people to our website every month - and are ranked on the first page of Google for many auto repair related terms - thanks to Radius Online. This is a great program."
