You can run most types of businesses without Google, or even in being in Google's index at all.

Whether or not you realize it your vendors probably do business with Google, so that statement isn't really true.

all else being equal, your competitor using google's index will have business perform better than yours. Thus, you will be out-competed.

The benefits of _not_ using google's index does not make up for it. So unless there some other benefit from doing so, not using google's index merely makes your business less competitive.
