An expert in local marketing is extolling the virtues of free when it comes to marketing a local business.
Arroyo Grande, CA, United States - August 2, 2018 /PressCable/ —
Local business owners have struggled over the past few years to reach local consumers and try to attract them. But many complain that large online retailers are taking away a big part of their business.
But according to one local marketing expert, not only is there an abundance of local business out there, but business owners don’t have to spend any money to attract their attention. “Free is the new local marketing technique,” says a spokesman from FindUsLocal.com, an online local business directory that shows all its visitors a customized home page filled with information from their own area. “Gone are the days when local business owners had to spend thousands of dollars on local marketing. Now, the most effective technique is absolutely free.”
He’s talking about local business directories. They are free to use for local business owners who want to create an online presence for their shops, restaurants, or service businesses. “It only takes a minute to set one up,” he says. “Just go to FindUsLocal.com, claim your business listing, and then fill in as many details about your business as you can. The listing will then be made public and local consumers can easily find the business.”
He says it’s just as important to keep the free business listing fresh by encouraging customers to leave online reviews on it. That attracts the attention of the large search engines, which will ensure that the business listing is seen more often.
