Local Online Advertising with Blogs

Writing by Brick Marketing on Wednesday, 26 of December , 2007 at 8:33 pm

There are many facets to local online advertising and using more than one method is always a good idea. However, one area that many small businesses overlook is blogging. A good business blog is an excellent way to market your local business because it provides exactly what people are looking for . . . information.

Let´s say you have a dollmaking business. You could easily blog on collectible or handmade dolls, linking to your catalog every so often. Each blog post should be keyword optimized so it appears in a top position for searches with your keywords. This is usually fairly easy and should get you plenty of search engine traffic.

Having a blog also allows you to build a rapport with your readers, a very valuable tool in local online advertising. You may get some who are just dropping in for a quick fix of info, while others will become loyal followers and subscribe to your feed. Try offering your RSS feed via email to start building a list as well and you´ll have a headstart when you need to start sending out a newsletter.

Blogs are a great way to do local online advertising. Establish yourself as an expert and create a bond with your readers and you´ll find that your local business does far better than with simple pay per click.
