A “Digital Presence” simply refers to how your business appears online; it’s what people find when they search for your business on the internet.
If you’ve been in business long enough, you’ve received many requests to send your company profile for business transactions. You might have wondered why is it important, how it helps your brand, and what it should include.
Most people will tell you that it’s comparable to an individual CV, but for a brand. We, think it’s much more than that. A profile tells a lot about your brand. It’s one of the essential tools that your brand needs to ensure growth and success. The world of business is very competitive. Having a unique and attractive profile helps you stand out. This gives you an upper hand in winning business.
An attractive business profile design says a lot about the business it presents. Aside from the content, the design is also an integral factor in creating a great business profile.
Why you need a strong digital presence?
It’s simple: you should have a strong digital presence because your customers are online, and they are turning to the internet to find solutions to their problems. When people search for you online, they will want to learn who, what, where, when, and why:
Who: Who are you? What’s your name? What brought you to where you are today? What is your story? Who works for you? Are you a franchise or family-owned?
What: What does your business do? What solutions do you offer? Do you provide a service or a product?
Where: Where you are located? Do you have more than one location? What’s the address? Are you primarily online based or located in a geographic area?
