Website
A fairly common mistake on the part of many local business owners is to see their company’s website as an expense, as something that “must have”, but they really do not give it much value and are not aware of the true potential that it may be losing.

A web page is the main tool to be able to promote your business online and although you can do it on your own, it is worth investing in a professional web design service that guarantees you an optimal result at all levels: design, programming, usability, navigability, security, good accommodation, support for updates, etc.
Advertise in person
Have people see your business or business events whilst they are walking down the street. Through a shop window, on a billboard or at any type of event to promote your business. you could look at www.eventdisplay.com.au to inspire you with this idea.
Advertise in directories and listings
Another way to get visibility online is by registering your business in local directories and business listings. Registering your company on this type of website will not get great results, but at least you will get some links to your website that will help you a little with the local SEO of your website. But be careful, do not register in all the ones you find, since many of them are unreliable and can even be negative for web positioning.
Use social networks.
Social networks are a great way to publicize your company, services or products on the Internet, but it is very important to manage them properly. The failure of many companies and entrepreneurs is that profiles are created on all social networks, but then the management and use made of said profiles is not correct: it is not published regularly, the content is not of quality, no a tone of communication is used according to the image of the company, the interaction with the users of your community is null, etc. The best thing is that you have profiles on social networks in which there is a higher percentage of potential audience that is interested in your services or products, and that of course, you can manage correctly.
