As web designers, we often come across a small business who has extremely good reviews online on several review sites such as Yelp and Kudzu, yet the business fails to take advatge of their positive reviews. Having positive reviews online are great and it says a lot about the credibility of a small business, but if a small business lacks a decent website a lot of that credibility is lost.

To take full advantage of positive reviews online it is absolutely imperative that a small business has a website. A positive review will attract interest to the business, leaving the potential customer wanting to find out more. A positive review does not close the deal, it only invokes interest. Once their is some interest created, the next step a consumer usually takes is to check out the business’ website to learn more about the services offered and whether the business is a right fit for the potential customer. When the user searches for a small business’ website only to find out that the business does not have one, a lot of the credibility and interest that the positive online review created is completely lost. When a small business doesn’t have a website it seems as if the small business doesn’t take their business seriously, and can really damage the business reputation. With over 80% over consumers researching businesses before the purchase, it is absolutely necessary for any small business to have a website.
