A major factor in online success is a presence in search engine results. When Australians are looking to buy online, 97% of the time they start by using a search engine. Ranking highly offers a significant opportunity to capture visitors ready & willing to inquire, book or purchase.

So it is concerning to discover that the majority of Australian websites are not up to scratch when it comes to search engine optimization.

We’ve just completed a study of 6000 Australian websites and their SEO and the results indicate Australian businesses are failing to be found online due to poor optimization.

  • 87% of the sites had substandard SEO
  • 29% had no SEO at all
  • just 6% were properly optimized

This means that businesses are missing out on valuable web traffic by motivated customers.

We claim the first and most essential challenge for any business wanting to compete online is to be easily found in search for relevant search terms. This alone can make an incredible difference to most businesses.

In order to help we have created NLYZR, a website optimization system that makes SEO and being found online simple, quick and cost-effective.
