Many companies realized the need for online space, Door delivery, and taking online payments. They rushed to a web development company for the very first time and built a platform to take orders and payments online without realizing online Business competitiveness. They were happy to see their company name online and started marketing “we are taking orders online”. But, when people searched for the business name, they couldn’t find the website itself.
