As a new business owner, you are always looking for ways to market your business and grow it. However, it may seem daunting to go through many different sources and wonder what to do next. At HomeStars, we are in the business of growing yours and we have done the research so you don’t have to. In this blog, we have put together 5 effective ways to make your new business successful. Take a look!
Set Up Your Local Listing On Google My Business Page
Google My Business is a free listing that allows you to make a business page for your line of work. Whether you are a plumber, electrician or general contractor, it’s important to remember that almost all homeowners begin their search online on a search engine. By listing your business and sharing other details like contact information and a list of services, you are enabling your business to be found on Google as well as Google maps.
Set Up A Social Media Account On Platforms Relevant To You
It’s no news that every day people spend hours scrolling through their feeds on their phones – whether it’s looking at puppy pictures or buying homes or shopping. In today’s day and age, people are likely to be skeptical of businesses that do not have a social media presence. Moreover, you can use these channels to build a follower base, increase brand recognition and loyalty and ultimately get more customers.
Be Responsive On All Platforms
The most important thing is to be seen and also be responsive – if you do not respond to customer queries or engage with them, they are likely to lose interest or not trust the business. Whether it’s social media on questions on your Google My Business page – make it a point to answer all of them in time to build homeowner trust and connections.
Build A Website For Your Business
When you have done the above, it’s time to embark on a new venture and that is building your business website. Having your business name on your domain name among other things like Google listing, social media etc. can really help your chances of getting noticed online. You can also use your website to educate audiences about your line of work and showcase your authority on the subject.
