Submit directory registrations
Registering your business on various directories is an easy way to improve your search results and be discovered. Google and Facebook reviews help too!
If your business is home-based you may also want to get a business mailing address to avoid putting your home address online.

Distribute press releases
I think media releases are amazing and I think they can work to create a real buzz about your brand.
However, for this marketing tactic to work you do need to be doing something worth talking about.

Craft a story where you’re someone doing something interesting for a compelling reason.
Marketing your brand doesn’t have to be complicated.
Get your small business online and set yourself up to be discovered on search and social.
Then do cool stuff that makes people want to talk about you and make sure they know about it. And if you want some extra help, that’s what I’m here for.
