These days businesses are easier than ever to start up… but even harder to showcase. Brick and mortar businesses are often fighting for attention as competition skyrockets. According to forbes.com, over 543,000 new businesses are started each month. Only half of those businesses survive the first five years, and the numbers decline even more with time. A big reason for this is because businesses cannot simply rely on word-of-mouth as a marketing strategy — local listings are one the the most likely ways customers will find your business.
In the age of technology, consumers have drastically changed the way they find new businesses. Not only will they search online for business information and reviews but they look for consistent and accurate information. Many listings often contain out-of-date or incorrect information such as business hours, telephone number, or location. This can erode brand trust and cost you many customers. Rannko’s PowerListings takes care of your Search Engine Optimization (SEO) and presents your brand over 60 listing platforms with consistent and accurate business information.
