Events. Sports marketing. Seo. Where Does Google Get 97% of Its Revenue? – GigaOM. Half of SME websites are not search engine optimised: study. Many small businesses in the UK are failing to make the most of their online presence, with 47% of SME websites studied having either very basic or no SEO work at all.

Half of SME websites are not search engine optimised: study

This is one of the findings of the State of UK Business Websites 2010 study, carried out by Analytics SEO and commissioned by Thomson Local. The study looked at 1,001 SME websites and compared them against a range of SEO criteria; including indexing in search engines, and signs of onsite optimisation. Some highlights from the study: The study found a correlation between the size of business and the levels of search engine optimisation. Larger companies tended to have better optimised sites, while over 70% of companies with less than 50 employees had either very basic levels of optimisation, or none at all. Clearly, there are plenty of small businesses that are yet to see the value of effective SEO, or perhaps lack the knowledge to carry out the basics of site optimisation.
