According to a local business marketing expert, unless local business listings are set up properly, business owners may not see the results they expect.
Arroyo Grande, CA, United States - August 16, 2018 /PressCable/ —
Local business owners have figured out that having a local business listing is key to getting new customers, but according to one expert, not all of them are doing it the right way.
“In a world where consumers look online for small businesses, even if that business is in their own town or city it’s crucial that business owners pay attention to the details when creating their free local business listings,” says a spokesman from FindUsLocal.com, an online local business directory that uses GEO location technology to present a customized home page to every site visitor. “And the biggest mistake I see is that many business owners enter wrong information—and that can cost them customers.”
He’s talking about the details required to create a local business listing. Studies show that consumers want more than just a business’s location. They also want to see its hours of operation, any discounts or promotions that are running, phone numbers, and directions.
“But if those details are wrong,” he days, “Studies show that 73 percent of consumers automatically lose confidence in the business and will likely go someplace else to spend their money.”
The answer, he says, is to make sure that the information is correct. He recommends creating a spreadsheet with all of the information and cutting and pasting it every time a new free local business listing is created. “That way,” he says, “The information will always be correct.”
