Facebook Marketing For Local Businesses – Live Marketing Challenge Post #5

If you decide to run an ad you can have that ad only appear for people who live in your area and you can even choose whatever demographic you want. That is extremely powerful for almost every local based business. In this post we will go over everything you need to get started with Facebook and see how we did it with Kat’s Yoga Studio.

Yelp Marketing Guide: How To Get More Positive Yelp Reviews and More!
Are you listed on Yelp? If you answered no, guess what…you are probably already listed and you don’t even know it. Yelp creates lists of businesses and you don’t even need to submit your business to be listed. This means your site could be reviewed and you won’t even know it. For that reason alone, you should be claiming your Yelp profile and monitoring the reviews that come in, adding your information, uploading pictures and videos.
And in addition to that, Yelp receives 18 million monthly visitors looking for one thing…businesses in their area!
