It’s common sense—the more accessible you make your business the more likely you are to get business. But how you do that has changed dramatically in the last few years. The world of marketing and business has been transformed by smartphones and mobile devices. Chances are that if you’re a local business people are finding you simply by putting a few search terms into Google.
Search engine listings are more than just a place to find a number—it’s a platform for your clients to interact with your business and for you to make a lasting first impression. Not taking advantage of the power of online listings can more often than not lead to a bad listing, and a bad listing is a marketing opportunity wasted.
There are many ways a bad local listing can be a detrimental to your business.
First and foremost, you won’t show up as frequently or accurately on search engines. If you don’t so much as show up on Google or Bing, how is a future client even supposed to know that your business exists? Studies also show that 79% of consumers use mobile apps to find local business and information. Not properly representing yourself on the mobile frontier essentially means losing customers.
