Hi! My name is Mark & if you’re a local Townsend business owner, you know how tough it is to keep the flow of new customers coming to you. I know that because I own a small business, too.
If you’re looking for ways to increase the number of paying customers… I can help. Here’s some free info to help you understand how to help your business grow.
Advertising is still about the eyes
As it has always been, the more people that see you, your logo or your ad, the more customers you’re going to get. The only difference now is where people are looking. (Hint: It isn’t the yellow pages.) It’s search engines… local search, to be exact.
As a Townsend business owner, you need to be concerned with two types of people: those in Townsend already, looking for something to do (eat, play, stay) AND those that are planning their trip to the Townsend area. In both cases, local search is applicable and extremely important to you. If you can be in front of those two types of people when they are looking; you’ll get more customers. It is that simple.

So, how do you do that?
There are several steps you need to take to make sure you are. And, honestly, now is the time to do it… before everyone in Townsend does. Yep, the earlier you start, the better off you will be in the long run.
First, you need a website that has been optimized for local search. It doesn’t have to be 50 pages to start, but it does need to be setup correctly.
Second, you need to get listed in the major search engine’s local directories & other important local business directories. This is not difficult, but it is a little time consuming.
Finally, there are other important tasks you should perform, such as making sure you have the right social media accounts & that they are setup correctly (yes, there are ones that travelers use more than others & ones that benefit you in your local search ranking) , you need to get links from pertinent sites (especially travel related sites) & you need to make sure that what you say on your website & local search listings is done with the right keywords. There’s more, but we’ll stop there.
Why should you trust me?
I’ve been doing this a long time… long before the Internet or local search was popular. Some of my customers have been with me for years… one for over 10 years & is still with me today!
I have customers who needed to be on the first page of Google & I helped them achieve that. I convert or create websites for my customers that are optimized for local search & are smartphone friendly. (And, yes, you really need to be doing that!) I can provide references, too. You could also check out some of my customers, such as The YMCA of East Tennessee, Rick Kratz Photography, Realty III or the Wears Valley Girl Scout troop.
So, if you would like more information how I can help you with a search engine optimized website and local search, just contact me using the form below. You can also use that form to tell me about your business if you’d like to get it listed on our Townsend site. (For free, of course.) You can also see information about advertising on this site.
I hope to hear from you soon,
Mark
