The problem is not difficult to understand and fix, and you can go to the Noble Samurai blog to see a video outlining the solution.

Today, more than ever, an effective presence on the internet is crucial to the success of any business, whether it is online or a brick and mortar storefront. No longer do people pick up the phone book, thumb to the business listings, and look for a local business providing what they are looking for.
No, instead they jump on their computer or use their smart phone to search the internet to find what they are looking for and where it can be found. You understand: most purchases are emotional and done on impulse. If you are not where they are looking, then you are missing a lot of business.
Have you checked out your local business listing? Is it at the top of the first page of Google, Yahoo and Bing? Are your competitors there?
If you are there, check out your competitors local business listings. Notice that following your local business listing in Google there are a list of alternatives to your business. Are they showing “above the fold?” If so, why?
The very first thing a local business owner must do is create an attractive, effective and focused local business listing. After all, if you can’t be found your can’t sell your products!

Often it is difficult to come up with an idea for building an online business, but it needn’t be. There are so many ways to find something to build a site on that has good traffic and little competition.
All it takes is a little work and some research. Start by thinking about what you are interested in. This is because if you are interested with a subject, you are more likely to stick with it.
One of the mistakes most new internet marketers make is to constantly change their mind and chase the latest “hot” topic, never really spending the time and effort to develop one good, and profitable, web site.
You might wonder what is the difference between markets, niches and micro niches, and why does it matter? The answer may surprise you.
It is easy to look around our home and see things that we buy, recognize a lot of people by the same thing, and think that is a good market to go into. But usually those items are in mature markets where the competition is stiff.
Another mistake new internet marketers make is trying to compete with a large online store. Forget it, you will get crushed. Rather, pick a small market with good traffic, little competition and which you can carve out a “niche” for yourself.
That’s where the money is!
The following two videos have some great ideas about how to find a market you might be interested in, and suggests that you start out by choosing 7 topics that might be of interest for you.
This is because not all of your ideas will have adequate traffic and commerciality, so you need to have enough good ideas to choose from.
Enjoy!
