Google My Business, now Google Business Profile is the platform that powers business listings on two of Google’s most popular products: Google Maps and Google Search. Owners can claim or create their business listings for FREE and publish (or update) key company info, such as your phone number, website, hours, products/services and address.

"word of mouth" or "local business networking" will help spread the word about your small business. This could be in local coffee shops, stores, small business networking groups and other places. Keep business cards on hand at all times to hand out. When you see a retail business that allows local businesses to leave business cards and flyers, make sure to add yours.

The social network for neighborhoods is NextDoor, it's free to sign up.
Social Media sites and apps like Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat, and LinkedIn are great ways to connect and communicate with people interested in you and your business.

Business Directory Listings - Even if you don't have a website, you need to have your business listed with high ranking business directories.. like yellowpages.com, nextdoor.com, woodlandsonline.com, conroetoday.com..etc.  Having your business listing online will help you find more customers searching for your business product or service.

SEO is all about getting your business website to rank well for your business name as well as your business’s products and services based on location & keywords. Say you’re the business owner of Amy’s Pie Shop in Conroe. You’ll want your website to be on the 1st page of Google results when someone searches for “Pie Shop near me” or “Best Pies in Conroe"
