The following is a series of questions to help start your thinking around your Online Strategy.
- Does the Business currently have an online presence at all? If not, why not?
- Is there a mapped out Online Strategy in place?
- If yes, how old is it?
- How well has it been executed?
- If not yet and it had to be executed immediately, does it make sense?
- Is it addressing what really needs to be addressed?
- If yes, what’s worked? what hasn’t?
- What are you still doing that you shouldn’t be?
- If selling is an option, does it appeal to a Buyer in its current form?
- Is it set up to be able to “hand over” to a third party?
- How are the online records (eg Google Anaytics) looking?
- Does this reporting of the Business (e.g.: to the ATO) reflect its online “value”?
- Where is the Online Strategy at right now vs. where does it want/intend to be?
- If it relies solely on YOU, what steps need to be taken to reduce the risk/potential damage?
- Is there the option to do both ie build/acquire to grow and then Exit once all in place?
- Alternatively, is now the prime time to acquire an Online business to help fill gaps, if that’s possible?
- If looking at a Buy option, will acquiring a website get the Business there more quickly?
