Has Google Doomed Prospects For Small Businesses?

Writing by Nick Stamoulis Tweet

To hear Aaron Wall tell it, small businesses don’t have a fighting chance on the Web. Funny he should say it like that. Here’s one of the most famous search engine optimization experts online – heck, he practically wrote the book on SEO (or something like that) – and he’s calling himself an “humble web business.” He’s talking like he thinks he’s one of the small fish. Isn’t he the one that has the big companies paying him to do their SEO?

I don’t know. Maybe he his humble.

But he’s right about one thing. Google likes the big guys and their money. There’s no doubt about that. But I’m still convinced that even the small business owner has a better chance at a level playing field online, even with Google sleeping with the megacorporations. You don’t need a lot of money to succeed at online marketing. You just need a good plan and the right advocate. Good SEO works for the small guy too!
