To Reach Customers in Your Area
People search the internet and use online directories when they are ready to buy. You want to make sure that your ad is in front of your customers so that customers can reach you when they want your products and services.
There are many ways to target local customers online. Here are a few:
- Google Places/Google Maps (Free). If you don’t have a free listing in Google Maps or Google Places, set that up right away. This is very important today.
- Yahoo Local listings (free and paid listings).
- Review sites.
- Get FREE listings in local directories.
- Get paid listings in local directories.
- Get free and paid listings in specialized directories
- Put ads in popular classified sites. Craigslist works very well.
Examples of local directories include Yellowpages.com, insiderpages.com, 411.com, superpages.com, yellowbook.com and many others.
- Local review sites such as Kudzu.com, Yelp.com and Judysbooks.com.
- Reviews sites have become very important for local business as they can get you listed on the first page of the Google search results. Don’t forget to ask for reviews from people you know on the sites that allow reviews.
- Get listed in specialized directories. Which directories you’ll choose will depend on what you’re selling, e.g. medical, dental, restaurants and more (free and paid options). Submission to specialized directories are personalized to your needs. Please contact me to discuss your needs and get a quote.
- Local Pay Per Click ads that allow you to target areas by zip code. For example, you can target zip codes with Google Adwords and many other pay per click search engines.
- Low fee PPC search engines. There are many PPC search engines besides Google Adwords and MSN where you can get traffic for a penny per click.
Additional ways to get traffic
- Paid advertising on Facebook. Facebook is one of the largest websites in the world, with more than 500 million monthly users and is one of the most effective places for targeted advertising today.
