Need some more traffic in your life? Probably not while you’re driving, but how about through your business? That’s the kind of traffic we like too!

The internet and social media have made it so much easier to reach consumers these days so making sure you’re all set up for their virtual traffic is super important.

Here’s a quick list of ways to get your brand name established online and increase your virtual traffic:

Have a website – make sure it’s attractive, responsive, and fast.

Get reviews – people trust other peoples testimonials and are significantly more likely to purchase a product or choose a business they see others are satisfied with.*

Google My Business – this online profile through Google is crucial to being found online via the most popular online search engine.

Bing Places – not as popular as Google My Business, but the Bing equivalent. After you create a GMB profile, you can seamlessly transfer your information into Bing Places and reach those that choose Bing for their searches.

Have a Facebook business page and get reviews –  A Facebook profile allows billions worldwide to come across your business. In such a huge community, having good ratings leads to more trust in your product, which ultimately leads to more revenue for your company.

Have an Instagram account – with a lot of opportunity for visually marketing to your target audience, IG is a great social platform for product advertising.

*How do you get people to go online and review your business?

Provide high-quality services and products that people want to tell others about.

Offer promotions or discounts on future purchases for customers who submit reviews of your establishment, services, or products.

Put links to your review sites on the footer of your website or in the description of your social media channels.

Be sure to look closely into the advertising restrictions on platforms such as Facebook and Instagram!
