1. SEO
SEO stands for search engine optimization. Using SEO strategies is the best way to drive large volumes of customers to your website.
SEO works by using special techniques to make your website more favorable to search engines, like Google. Speeding up your site, ensuring it’s easy to read and navigate, creating content that others link to, and using strategic keywords all improve your search engine ranking.
When potential customers use a search engine to find businesses in your industry, having your website show up at the top of the list helps encourage visits to your site and leads to higher conversion rates.
2. Business Directories
Listing your business in a business directory can either help or hurt your website.
Search engines determine whether business directories are seen as poor or high quality. Listing in a poor quality directory can hurt your SEO, while listing in a high quality directory can increase it and result in many more visits to your website.
3. Emails
Email is still an effective way to market your business.
