We kept hearing that many people who order shirts from kept having to PAY for setup fees or HAD to order a MINIMUM just to get a couple of shirts....It led us to DTG printing.

If your business isn't showing up in AS many maps as Possible in a 20 mile radius of your business address....then your not exposing your business to as many possible Google users as you should be showing to. PERIOD.  To see what and where your Google my business page should be showing here is a link to a map radius calculator...https://ezlocal.com/tools/map-... You can use that link to see the area that your GMP page should be showing in.....if IT ISN'T....get in touch with ME and let me show you what and why it is important. ALONG with what my clients are seeing in return. #ItsWorthTheConversation

(more) Local business owners shouldn't stick their heads in the sand when it comes to someone wanting to "SELL" them something... if the need is there and it solves a problem then by all means they should investigate what the seller has to offer. People should keep an open mind when owning a business....if YOU own a business then you are trying to SELL your services to others....That is what businesses do..... I agree with the local part....Yellow Pages were the NUMBER ONE way the local community had to engage with local businesses. It WORKED....now that EVERYONE has a smart phone and Yellowpages are dead and gone...Google has made it simpler with Google my Business Pages...You don't want to put all of your eggs in one basket and Networking only gets you so much. Today 9 out of 10 people search locally for a business and thats a Google Fact measured by their own numbers. Its hard to beat a fact.... If you are a small business and want a good foundation....then you have to have many tools that bring local business to you. PERIOD!

Showing Price doesn't explain VALUE for your services. A good alternative is to have a page with  "Have you experienced this?"  along with a description of a situation and what your services would provide....which is actually why people are looking at your website....they are LOOKING for... (more) Showing Price doesn't explain VALUE for your services. A good alternative is to have a page with  "Have you experienced this?"  along with a description of a situation and what your services would provide....which is actually why people are looking at your website....they are LOOKING for answers and solutions to their REAL WORLD issues. Cost is second....if its answers their concerns that is. Show VALUE while giving them a REASON to contact you. These "Talk to a professional" drop downs or pop ups on websites are getting to be annoying to people as much as POP UPS did in the early 90s.  Solutions to people's problems in real world examples win every time... DRIVE ACTION through your website by showing WHY someone should CALL YOU FIRST for their solutions. We have an extremely high rate of return and a POSITIVE ROI helping many clients use this method. I would be happy to have a conversation about this if you are interested in the information.

(more) First and foremost you need a great local strategy that starts with Google Maps! 9 out of 10 people use Google Maps by searching and using (near me) like “plumbers near me” the greatest thing is it’s free to every business to have a GMB or Google my business page and it’s free to appear on the first page in your zip code ....if you want to appear in more than that reach out to me and I will show you how I help companies appear in more “on the first page” in many more areas available! I can show you first hand clients that appear in more areas on the first three in the Maps in more search results! And their results which speak for themselves! I have actually taken businesses from spending thousand of $ a month to spending barely nothing a month for a bigger profitable result! And the first rule to thinking you should have an advertising budget is ....you can’t budget advertising....the only way to “budget” advertising is to make it as affordable as 1 client a month pays for it! That way every other client is pure PROFIT!!! Reach out information never killed no one and I won’t ask you to buy anything...it makes sense or it doesn’t.....it’s not rocket science when you see what the truth is!

Depends on what you want the leads for....are you a Business who needs to advertise or a sales person trying to find leads to sell??? If its Leads to sell....

(more) Depends on what you want the leads for....are you a Business who needs to advertise or a sales person trying to find leads to sell??? If its Leads to sell.... In this day and age I tell and show all my reps that leads are so abundant...its almost like standing in the rain... While word of mouth or Referrals are one of the greatest simply because its a "Warm" lead...its not all one can rely on.... I cringe when someone tells me that they "Paid" for leads....if someone paid for leads it simply means that they are too lazy to cultivate GREAT leads for themselves....I teach my reps to find their leads through Manta, BBB, Google, Reference USA, Business cards, but when it gets right down to it....nothing beats FACE TO FACE communication. (Whether you call it Networking, Cold Calling or simply Door to Door business....) Nothing beats it....hands down. I would rather me or MY Reps spend their time having meaningful conversations and its also the FIRST RULE in sales....PEOPLE BUY YOU FIRST. Thats why so many people are trying to STIFFEL Robo Calls....who the HELL would spend their HARD EARNED money when they cant see YOU....Phone call sales will ALWAYS be the hardest and LESS Retentive form of Sales..... If you are in Business and want to get customers to buy your services or goods...then you need a Great synergy of Advertising and Marketing to fulfill your sales....this I can help you with if you are looking for that....I help many of my clients get their local market back from the 2010 smartphone introduction that actually splintered advertising....Just reach out for consultation....I wont ever try to sale you or ask you to buy anything....thats the beauty of what we do at Ezlocal...we believe in giving you the power to purchase by giving you Facts on how people today are USING the information...

It’s like working on your car....you can possibly do the basics yourself...oil change...plugs...brakes....then you can hire a shade tree mechanic who can do a little more...but will charge you for it but it will only keep giving you problems or you can finally take it to an ASE certified...

But unlike ASE certified....Digital marketing has levels and each level can only do so much!  Be sure to do yourself a favor and research companies and their reputation before handing anyone your $$$$!!! I help thousands of businesses advertise/Market their companies....if you would like to ask me some questions feel free to reach out! Conversation and knowledge never hurt anyone!
