Grow Local Plan
Stand Out In Bellingham, Washington
The WebShark Consulting Grow Local Plan focuses on the basic pillars of growing a business online in 2024. People have become so used to companies fighting for their attention that direct advertisements have lost much of their previous utility. When someone first finds them online, small businesses only have a handful of seconds to make an impression before that potential customer is gone – maybe forever.
Practically, this means a local business needs to have:
A well reviewed Google business profile that targets their industry,
and
A website that stands out while following standard accessibility and privacy regulations
Only 46% percent of businesses have their profile on Google completed. Your business’s Google profile has the potential to be seen by more customers than your physical store. Treat your customers to a welcoming, informative digital storefront – first impressions matter! A business’s profile needs to spark interest and guide potential customers to either search for directions or to visit their website.

There are always gaps in the market that aren’t being addressed. As part of our Grow Local Plan, WebShark performs an audit of other businesses in your industry. This allows us to identify gaps in the market that will allow your business to stand out and grow.
Many businesses struggle to get consistent, five-star reviews on Google. It is not uncommon to see well established businesses with less than 200 reviews in 10+ years of business. To make matters even worse, many of those reviews tend to be negative than the average customer experience. Invite your customers to leave good reviews immediately after their experience with NFC embedded stands that make it easy to leave a review with the tap of a phone.
Custom, Modern Website
Custom Home Page
After checking reviews and looking at an image or two, the next step for most people is to visit the website of a business they are looking at for the first time. We create a custom home page for your website designed to stand out and invite potential customer to stay. Tell potential customers the right story about why they should become paying customers – the thing that makes your business different from others in your industry might be the thing that convinces someone to choose you.
High-Speed Hosting
People don’t wait around for websites to load like they used to. It is easy to check the loading speed for your website using Google Pagespeed Insights. WebShark ensures that all websites developed will be optimized for page loading speed, using one of the best hosting providers in the industry: Hostinger
E.E.A.T.
Google has a series of guidelines that their search algorithms follow. Those guidelines are broadly broken down into the acronym E.E.A.T. which stands for Experience, Expertise, Authoritativeness, and Trustworthiness. The wave of AI generated content that flooded the internet resulted in major changes in the way Google searched for, and ranked, websites. Currently, Google focuses on websites that provide a high quality user experience, that share their real-world expertise, and come from a website that has built authority and trust.
As a business owner, you have more experience in your industry than almost anyone. You bring the experience and we will take care of the rest.
