How Important is Having a Website for Brick-and-Mortar Stores?

The short answer is: very. Great, thanks for reading. Ok, I’m kidding. The long answer is that even for Melbourne-based businesses with a physical shop front in a busy area, having a great website is a crucial part of your marketing plan. Fact: Four out of five consumers search online for a local business. That means a bunch of people are searching online right now for a local business just like yours. Don't believe me?
