Web Survey Shows North West SME’s Slow to Invest Online

A survey of over 200 top SME’s in the North West has revealed 35% have not invested in search engine marketing, with a remarkable 50% failing even to update their websites in the last 6 months.

Local search engine marketing company CL5 has just completed a market research campaign (May - June) on regional SME’s and their online marketing strategies, with results taken from across the region revealing that investment by Liverpool firms in their website was particularly poor, with around 80% of sites that failed the survey’s criteria originating from Merseyside.
