Once you have a website and you have social media, you make think that the job is done but it is not. There is still so much more that can be done to promote your business. The good news is that when it comes to promoting your business online there is plenty that can be done for free.
Ok wait, mostly free because it still costs you time.
When is the last time that you used the Yellow Pages? I do not know about you but I honestly do not even know if I have one. I saw a truck in my neighborhood the other day with the rear door open. It was full of yellow pages and I got a huge feeling of dread come over me. I hate waste and I knew that if it got delivered to my house that it would go directly to my recycle bin. I saw all of this to remind you of the reality that we all know, people are searching for your business online. Oh and don’t forget that today, tonight at this moment people are searching for you on their phone.
If people are searching for your business online you best make sure that your business is there to be found.
Lucky for us there are plenty of places online to be found and below I am going to provide you with a list of a few places for you to list your business. Note that most everyone will want to charge you for better listings but that can add up. For now consider just listing your business as many places as you can for free. See if the free listings have any impact for you over the next six months and go from there. All of those small fees can start to add up over time.
This is a short list of places but it is enough to get you headed in the right direction. The key factor is to make sure that your business bio and links all match up across each platform. You may want to take this opportunity to check in on all of your social media bios as well. Test your links and make sure that all of your descriptions match. Your business can be found online, it just may take a bit of work to get there.
