Why your Google Business Profile isn't getting you calls
|
Here's something I see constantly. A lawn care operator spends good money on a trailer, equipment, and maybe even a website. Then they spend about 20 minutes setting up their Google Business Profile—click a few boxes, upload one photo from two years ago, and call it done. That profile sits there, untouched, while a competitor with scruffier gear and a fresher profile keeps pulling in the calls. It's not always fair, but it is real.

That relationship is worth more than the $200 I would save online. Here is what local gets you that a website does not: You put your hands on the machine before you pay for it. No guessing from photos. They...
A signwritten van is the cheapest advertising you will ever buy. It works while you are mowing, while you are at the shop, while it sits parked in someone's street. However, the sign wiring needs a few things to do its job well. I owned a signwriting business back in the early eighties, and I have signwritten my vehicles ever since. Here is what I would tell you before you spend a cent. Get your logo sorted first: Get a portrait version and a landscape version. Your signwriter needs both, and...
Hey Reader I found something interesting...I don't normally share stuff until I know it works. But I've been quietly testing some SEO blogging software over the past few months, and I think it's worth keeping you in the loop, even at this early stage. The idea is simple.
