If you are a small business owner then this may help you.
About me in short: I am not a business owner, But I own a agency team with 4 people.
Where we have helped around 7 business owner with SEO (Local SEO).
Let me share you some things that I have learned in 1.8 years of my experience that can help you to grow your business:
1.Google My Business (GMB) is Your Best Friend
If you haven’t set up your Google my business profile yet, do it now! Optimize it with accurate business details, high-quality images, and regular updates to improve your local search ranking.
2. Reviews Matter – A Lot!
Encourage happy customers to leave Google Review. More positive reviews = better credibility = higher rankings. Don’t forget to reply to all queries, good or bad!
3.Content & Social Media Can Help you to for better sales.
If you regularly Post helpful blogs, FAQs, and social media updates it will builds trust and attracts local customers.
4.Local Keywords = More Customers.
When ever client’s came to us and ask for how to get sales our answers are always same. Optimize your site for local keyword.
If you are a Coffee Shop owner then optimizing content in your site can really a attract a customers for queries like coffee shop [Near Your place].
5. Provide 24/7 support: What I have experience from these small business I have worked with is, Communicating with customers and answering queries by own can significantly increase chance of conversion.
How can you do this ?
In this era of AI that is no more difficult task,
Just upload an chat feature in your website and just make your laptop open when ever you are in your store.
Or you can hire contact staff.
Don’t make this mistake: Many people do mistake my adding chatbot to their chat features but, think of it,
Do people really like to get their answer solved by chatbot,
Not really, people want human to solve their queries answer that would be better if you chat with them yourself.
Example:
Some month ago I was developing a site for my client,( Don’t forget I am from agency ,We develop site too).
So, I need to choose a best hosting for his website in his country,
I went to some platform ( his local hosting provider) and check some few out there.
But at last I ended purchasing hosting and domain from that platform which really provide me support.
So there is more than 30 percent chances of converting your website visitor into customers.
I hope this will helped you.
As of now we are wroking on this website for SEO.
