The Importance of the Physical Address
In the internet age it easy pretty easy to take something on the computer screen at face value – especially if there is a pretty picture to go with the message. It is easy to forget that a picture is only a picture and words are only words.
One of the easiest checks that a person can do to find out about a company is to find the physical address of the company. Find the about or contact page and find out where the company is actually located. What country are they in? What state? Is there more than just a P.O. Box to send a check to?
If you want to take it a step further, type that address into google maps (not affiliated). The new features of google maps can allow you to find a satellite photo of the address. If the photo shows a residence or a big sign of a different business you may want to think twice before doing business with that web site.
