SEO for Small Businesses: How to compete with big brands online

 

Hi everyone, and welcome back to what is now Blog number 7!!😆😆

Thanks to everyone that has kept with me from the beginning and a hearty welcome to any newcomers!!👋💓

Once again, it all comes back to business and today I will briefly be discussing SEO in small businesses and how it can help to compete bigger corporations online.

Firstly, SEO stands for Search Engine Optimisation and over the years this system has had huge benefits for smaller companies trying to compete with their much bigger counterparts online.



When these small businesses invest in SEO, automatically more people will be able to discover them online, leading to the potential following advantages:

  • Obviously, it brings in more customers.
  • Helps to build your brand awareness
  • Beating your competitors
When optimising their new websites, these companies must focus their attention to Google. Without a doubt, Google has the biggest market share in terms of search engines. If people can find your business through Google, already you are putting your business at a clear advantage to your competitors. 

Of course, the main problem for businesses of this size is of course the cost!!😟😟

Some businesses may be thinking is worth taking the risk and putting in the time, but I think if you have the capital I think it is a no brainer and it will help to bring your business further into the 21st Century!! 

If these businesses want to remain relevant and in contention with their larger counterparts, once again if you've got the money..... go for it!!😆😆

As always, I hope you might gain something from this, especially if any of you are budding entrepreneurs preparing to launch your brand!! If any of you are, I have attached a link below to an article written by Adam Steele explaining this topic in more detail. Best of luck and I hope this helped in some way.


As always, take care and mind yourselves!!👋👋💓

South East of Ireland a good place to invest for a tech firm??

 Hi everyone and welcome to my 2nd blog!! Today I am going to shut up talking about myself, which you will be glad to hear!!😂😂  Instead I am going to briefly talk about what I think about the South East of Ireland and whether it is a good place for a tech firm to set up and invest their money in. My Thoughts   Being from the south-east myself, I only know too well in terms of investment why this area is so lucrative to firms across all different sectors. A huge plus for this region is how easily accessible it is to our capital city, Dublin. Thanks to our great road network, i.e M50, M9, M11, you can leave Dublin Airport/Port and be in the heart of the south-east within the hour. This alone will make it easier for company executives, potential customers and suppliers to travel in and out of the country at ease.  As well as that obvious advantage, in recent years the amount of young educated people based in the south-east has rapidly increased thanks to great investm...

  About Myself Hello everyone, my name is Cillian McEvoy and welcome to my first blog!!  I am a 4th year business student studying at SETU Waterford. I live in County Kilkenny in the small village of Mullinavat, located about 10 miles from Waterford. Since 2021, I have been on the Bachelor of Business (Honours) course at SETU and as I have already mentioned I am currently in my 4th and final year of my course.  In my 3rd year, I specialised in the accounting stream and as part of the course I went on work placement. I spent six months working for PwC as an intern where I gained valuable experience in the audit and assurance sector. Although it was a very worthwhile experience, I decided not to accept an offer of a graduate programme with PwC after I graduate. It helped me evaluate further what I want my career to be and what I don't want it to be. Obviously, I still want a career in the business world, just not in that particular area of business. I'll figure it out! Asid...

Cybersecurity for Small Businesses

Image
  Hi everyone, and welcome back to blog number 8!!👋😆 Today yet again, I'll be briefly discussing another important business topic.... cybersecurity for small businesses. This topic is very important to me at the moment as SETU (the college I'm attending) has recently become the victim of a cybersecurity breach. I had no idea just how much a business could be affected long term but I am now seeing first hand every day just how important cybersecurity is.  For a small business, if a hacker is successful in gaining access to your network, they can inflict all sorts of damage in terms of: Customer credit card information Company's bank details Manufacturing processes Business growth plans This can all lead to huge financial losses and costs as the company tries to rid the network of threats and make up for the loss of business. One way that companies can try to prevent such a breach is by training its employees. Many security breaches are simply down to human error, so by inv...
