Here are 4 things your business can do to be proactive during these changing times. 

Stay Informed

Don’t be afraid to try new things, stay ahead by evaluating what your competitors are doing and implementing changes. By surveying the business landscape, you’ll get a better understanding of new trends, what people are looking for and how other businesses are meeting or not meeting those needs. Resources such as the rising retail categories tool, Google Trends and Google Alerts can help you stay up to date.

Be current and transparent

Google processes 63000 search queries per second, make sure your business is the answer. Customers are continually looking for new information online, therefore all your business’s online information should be updated regularly to reflect any changes. Update your customer-facing sites, Social Media Profiles, Google My Business for Google Search, and Google Maps to ensure you grow your audience and improve your leads.

Adjust in real-time

The world is changing faster than ever, with new developments coming to light with every passing minute. This means that your business cannot afford to remain dormant while consumer behaviour shifts. Make sure your offerings remain front and centre with relevant and effective marketing campaigns.

Go remote

Many businesses have adopted a hybrid working approach, and most have found it the ideal opportunity to change the way they do business embracing video conferencing solutions like Microsoft Teams and Google Hangouts to provide teams and clients places to keep communication channels open.
