Get More Local Customers: The Digital Marketing Blueprint for Brick-and-Mortar Businesses
As a local business owner, you know your craft inside and out. But when it comes to marketing, you might feel like you are shouting into a void, wasting money on ads that reach the wrong people or a website that never shows up in local searches. The digital world is where your potential customers are looking for you right now. The question is, will they find you or your competitor?
This is not a generic marketing course. This is a specialized playbook designed specifically for businesses that serve a local community, from restaurants and salons to contractors and consultants. We cut through the complex jargon and provide a direct, actionable system. You will learn how to claim your spot on Google, run hyper targeted ads that only reach people in your city, and optimize your online presence so that when someone nearby searches for what you offer, your business appears first.
A Dual Strategy for Local Domination: Get Listed and Get Seen
