Awareness
Surely there is lack of awareness. Small business owners are still not aware of the importance of blog on their website. Honestly speaking most of the small business owners in Delhi think about a website as just a trend and nothing more. They do not think about is as a marketing tool. So they just need a website to have it on their business cards, pamphlets, banners etc.

Additional cost
Most of the website designing companies charge an additional price for blog designing on a website. But beware of these type of companies.
