“20% of all searches on Google are with Local Intent.”

Don’t miss out on millions of Local Searches made on Google every month for the landscaping industry.

The Marketing “Landscape” Smart business owners should include Internet Marketing as part of their marketing and advertising strategies. Newspapers and local publications are still an affordable way to reach customers. Paid Search, known as Pay-Per-Click is a viable option for small business owners, but it is time consuming and expensive to compete with more well known brands. Submitting your business to Google’s Local Business Center, bing.com, and Yahoo! Local are great ways to help your business get found. And it is free. Posting free ads in Craigslist and Kudzu are also an important part of a business’ online strategy. Updating on a monthly basis helps with top positioning. Take part in Social Media by participating in industry blogs, creating a Facebook fan page, and setting up a twitter account. All of these are free and gets the word out about your business. Include Natural/Organic Results as part of your overall Internet Marketing Strategy. The facts speak for themselves.
