Digital Marketing For Small Businesses in Ireland

Your website is your shop window

As a marketing manager or business owner of a small business, you’re probably working with limited resources in terms of time, money, and staff with digital expertise but you recognise the importance of digitally marketing your business in order to stay competitive and succeed.
So you’re asking yourself “Where do I start?” Before investing your hard-earned time and money in digital marketing campaigns, it’s vital that you do the following first in order to avoid costly campaigns that will yield little return.

To answer the question above, it all starts with a GREAT website.

As a bare minimum, your website should tick the following 4 boxes:

  • It is a modern design – appealing to the eye and visually represents your brand, what you do and what differs you from your competitors
  • It has clear call to actions – much like signposts, tell your website visitors where they need to go or what they need to do, with clear communication i.e. “Click here to Book Now” or “Get this Deal”
  • It is SEO-friendly – is your website search engine optimised? Can it be found easily on Google, Bing and other search engines that your potential customers are searching on?
  • And finally.. is your website mobile-friendly (responsive)? Over 86% of Irish consumers own or have access to a smartphone and are looking for your product on their devices. Is your website easily accessed on a mobile device?
