First is an execution issue. This is when we know about your product, but we do not like your product. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.justice.gov\/archives\/opa\/pr\/chipotle-mexican-grill-agrees-pay-25-million-fine-and-enter-deferred-prosecution-agreement#:~:text=Breadcrumb%20*%20Justice.gov.%20*%20Chipotle%20Mexican%20Grill,Resolve%20Charges%20Related%20To%20Foodborne%20Illness%20Outbreaks.\">Chipotle had this execution issue<\/a> back in 2020 when they paid out 25 million dollars for foodborne illness issues. This was before Chipotle made their store an experience. People didn&#8217;t trust Chipotle because they couldn&#8217;t watch them make their food, but now you can see everything, and they have built back the trust of their customers. Chipotle was able to overcome its execution issues, but most small businesses deal with the other issue. Most of them deal with an awareness issue. This is when you have a product that people would like, but we just do not know about your company. There are so many products that come out that people would probably want, the issue is that it does not get any exposure. That is why SEO is so important for small businesses; they do not have the funds to advertise. Although advertising is the best way to put your product out there, it is not the only way. SEO can be just as effective as advertising if done the right way at no cost. Even though this is the case, small businesses continue to ignore this alternative for getting people to find out more about your business. SEO solves the issue of awareness for small businesses. It solves the issue because when people are searching for a solution to a problem, your business\/product comes up as a solution. SEO is very overlooked and underappreciated by small companies. Small Businesses should lean into SEO and make it their advantage, so they come up when their product or category is looked up. If small businesses are dealing with awareness issues, they would consider boosting their SEO.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In Retail, there are two reasons why your company may not be working.
