We’re reaching out to affected small to medium Australian businesses to offer our help in getting your business back on its feet.

As a small business ourselves (and coming from small business backgrounds), we know that marketing budgets are always the smallest and at a time like this when every dollar counts and is going towards restoring your business in the physical sense, there’s probably not much left over for marketing once the business is back in action.

This is where 123SEO comes in. We want to help you with your online and Internet marketing because it’s far more cost effective than conventional marketing and will help you get back on track sooner.

Our offer to flood affected small to medium businesses across Queensland:

• We will audit your website for FREE.
• We will action the changes from our audit for FREE.
• We will provide 1 month of SEO services for FREE.

Total value exceeds $1000 AUD

If you don’t have a website, we’ll give you some FREE advice on how to go online and make the most of it.

This discount will feature on www.flooddiscounts.com.au later this week and although on that website, it has an expiry date of 30 June 2011, we know that the recovery and cleanup effort will take much longer than 6 months so we’ll provide our help for the rest of 2011.

This is just one small way we want to help Queensland flood victims get back on their feet.

At 123SEO, we’re proud to be QUEENSLANDERS!

As a small business ourselves, we’re no stranger to the trials and tribulations of life in the small business world. We’re also very familiar with the successes and joys of being a small business and know that every win counts, no matter the size.

Every day, we get called upon by small business owners to help with their ecommerce websites. Many are stay at home mums looking to make their days even more profitable but many are also just ordinary folks who want to experience the joy of selling online whilst working from home.

We know that when you start out as an e-commerce entity, you almost always have to hold onto your wallet. The funds aren’t readily available yet you know you need to act fast and act now if you want to get your business going.

SEO is one of the most important tools to a small business e-commerce website yet it’s often confusing for business owners who want to spend more time developing their site and less time marketing it.

This is where 123SEO comes in. We know small business, we know SEO and we know how to help your e-commerce site thrive.

We know link building is what will help propel your business further but we also know that an ongoing arrangement may not be feasible this early in your website’s life.

That’s why we encourage you to get a website audit through us as a once-off project. Let us go through your site, make the necessary changes to ensure it’s accessible by search engines and that your site is designed to convert visitors into customers.

Once you get more traction with your site, you can then consider an ongoing arrangement to push forward and keep the momentum going.

This is just one way we are helping small businesses thrive online.

Much of South East Queensland has recently been hit with excessive rainfall and torrential flooding. Toowoomba, Ipswich and now Brisbane are flooded with major disruptions to transport and businesses whilst the damage bill continues to soar.

123SEO would like to extend our thoughts with all Queenslanders affected (including our brethren in the North).

Our business has not been affected by the floods and rain however we understand some of our clients and their friends and families will be.

Special mention to the Queensland Premier Anna Bligh and her team for taking swift action along with the Mayors of Brisbane, Ipswich and Toowoomba. Also, we can’t forget the SES and other volunteers who are doing everything they can to help out – from rescue missions to sand bagging to helping with evacuations.

Please take care, stay safe and be strong – the flood waters will recede, the rain will go away and the sun will shine again on our fair State.
