Social media and other platforms are great for promoting your business, but before you can successfully promote yourself on these platforms you need to have a good website. Your website should include a number of pieces of information, including:
• Your full address at the end of every page
• Your phone number
• Tags that specify your location (such as “Liverpool” at the end of your site title tag)
• Your content
The content itself should be more than just about your products and services. Set up a blog page and write about the industry you are in. Share tips and tutorials so that users continue to visit your site even when they’re not looking for your products.
Of course, you need a good hosting and domain name. Both are easy to get and very affordable. BestWebHosting.co.uk is a good place to start if you’re looking for more information.
Register on Business Pages
Google has its own Google Business Page. Facebook also has a special account for businesses. You can even set up a business Instagram account now. The next step is to get these pages up. Business pages are great for many reasons.
The Google Business Page, for instance, will put the location of your business on all Google Services. The next time a user searches for a product you’re selling, your business will appear along with a map to your location and other relevant information. The Instagram business account allows you to share photos and videos of your products or activities in store. Users can get in touch with you directly thanks to the new Contact button on your profile.
Start Engaging Potential Customers
This is the perfect time to start attracting potential customers. The best way to do this is by writing articles or producing web content (including photos and videos) that relate well to your product. Instead of selling the products directly, write a how-to article that relates to the use of your product or service.
Users who are just searching for information will read the article and want to learn more about your product. Since your main site already has all the information they need, you can expect many of those readers to spend more time on it.
Over 80% of traffic enjoyed by Liverpool’s best local businesses come from mobile devices, so make sure you also make your site as mobile friendly as possible. You’d be surprised by how many more customers you get – and how many more sales you can close – once you’ve established a strong online presence.
