The marketing essentials
The foundation every small business site needs before spending a dime on ads.
1. Claim your Google Business Profile
For local businesses it’s often the first thing customers see. Keep hours, photos and categories current, and make sure there’s only one listing.
2. Connect Search Console
Google Search Console shows what people search to find you, and flags problems with your site.
3. Write a clear title for every page
Each page should have a unique title and description that says exactly what it’s about.
4. Answer real questions
Content that answers what your customers actually ask is what ranks, and what builds trust.
5. Build your email list
Social reach comes and goes; your list is yours. Offer something useful in exchange for the signup.
6. Make the next step obvious
Every page should tell visitors what to do next: call, book, buy, or sign up.
7. Collect reviews
Ask happy customers for Google reviews. They help rankings and conversions.
8. Measure what matters
Track calls, form fills and sales, not just traffic.
