For small businesses there’s nothing better than free online advertising. In the modern age where digital space has took over everything, there are a number of platforms to help you spread the word about your business, but you have to start by getting yourself online.
Here is a compilation of free online advertising opportunities that any small business can take advantage of.
Optimize Your Website For Search Engines
The first thing that people do when they are planning to buy something do is searching for that product or service on Google. At first, they try to collect as much information as they can about the product and then they search for vendors who sell that product. So, if your website is not appearing in Google search, that means you virtually do not exist.
List Your Products In Business Directories
Buyers look for sellers in popular business directories. If you sell B2B products, add a free listing on IndiaMart, Trade India and Indian Yellow Pages. These are popular business to business directories.
If you sell directly to customers, list free on Just Dial, Ask Me and Get It. These services offer mobile apps and attract huge traffic. You can list services as well on these sites for free.
List On Google My Business (Local Business Listing)
Google is making search personal and now displays results that are tailored for your location. For example, if you search for a McDonalds, it will show you the one in your city with a map. So, it has almost become mandatory for a business to get listed on Google Local. You will be able to reach your targeted audience through this.
Use The Power Of Social Media
We all know the power of social media. To begin with, you should create profiles on Facebook, Twitter and Linkedin. It will not only help you get more customers but you can engage them and get quality feedback from them about your products or services.
