• Get a website and establish yourself online.
  Brogan said 60% of U.S. businesses are not online in any fashion — a huge mistake in an age in which most people rely heavily on search engines to find information about businesses
• Invest in modernized Web design that’s optimized for search.
  Many businesses are still relying on techniques from the 1990s, including Adobe Flash — which isn’t recognized in Google’s search algorithms.
• Facebook doesn’t constitute an online presence.
  Brogan compared businesses that rely on Facebook pages as their “website” to people who would call a hotel room their “home.” Like a hotel, Facebook doesn’t allow the complete customization you would find in your home — plus, it can kick you out whenever it wants. Facebook is where you congregate fans and reach out to them, but a website is where you establish your identity, Brogan said.

Great info! Short and sweet, what do you think?
