I have been marketing for small businesses in numerous industries for over 20 years. Marketing practices have changed drastically over the past 2 years. Everyone knows that it’s no longer viable to place an ad in the phone book each year and expect to grow your business. But, neither will putting up a website and forgetting about it. If a business can’t be found online, it can’t be found!

No matter the industry, the number one action business owners must take right now:

Visit GetListed.org – and input your business name and zip code. You will receive a “Listing Score” that is a number from 0-100 that approximates how effectively your business is taking advantage of free listings at the major search engines.

Click on “Learn How to Improve Your Score” and you will see an itemized list of what specific steps your business has taken (or not taken) to list itself with the major search engines effectively.

Visit each listing to ascertain its accuracy and make sure your message is clear.
