We all know the benefits of Facebook and Twitter but we often lose focus of online marketing’s true purpose, which is to generate more conversions and lasting relationships with your clients.  As an Atlanta based company, there are many sites that will take the guesswork out of expanding your local presence. If your business offers home service such as plumbing, electrical, etc., then here are five online websites you don’t want to lose sight of:

Yelp

Yelp is an online business directory showing remarkable growth each year.  It went from a small start-up company to a website averaging 139 million viewers every month!  Claim your business listing now and start using pay per call advertisement.  Yelp is one of the top sites for consumers to list reviews of businesses.  Should an unfavorable review arise, you can directly respond to the customer to rectify the situation.

Google Adwords/PPC

Google has made it easy to get the most out of your marketing efforts.  With Pay-Per-Click, you only pay when someone clicks on your ad.  It offers user-friendly monitoring tools so you can invest more in what’s working for your business and stop wasting money on the ads or keywords that aren’t.  With these different methods of tracking, you can see just how many sales/conversions your ads are generating.

Angie’s List
