Existing and prospective clients are far less inclined to consult sales people for information than they once were.
Instead, they prefer to look online for their financial information. According to a Gartner study, potential B2B customers are around two-thirds of their way through a purchasing process before they have any contact at all with a supplier. Reasons for this include a lack of brand-building and differentiation, as well as the growth of online trading platforms.

Building websites in the correct way can have a big impact on SEO & SEM. This includes using the right CMS, site structure, speed of website, mobile responsiveness, page layout and semantic code.
