You've probably heard the story. The shoemaker crafted shoes for his customers while ignoring his own children.  What you haven't heard is that his kids barefooted it away from home, their feet became blistered and torn, and they disowned their father for neglect.

Now, think of clients lost to competitors online as abandoned children. By paying a bit more attention to marketing your service, you can then expect to achieve your growth expectations.

No time? Good thing! Delegate. If you rely on a local clientele, then you need to rely on a local Internet marketing firm -- whether it's ClikTru or any other qualified local Internet marketing specialists.

Maximizing results takes as much expertise as you bring to to your own business. Select your local Internet marketing firm wisely and potential clients will no longer abandon you.

It’s all about your Local Business Listing

Location, location, location... You know it's important, but do you know how it impacts your business online?

Your local business listing (LBL) in Google and elsewhere is the sine qua non of local Internet marketing. If you're not optimizing your business name, address and phone number, you will not be found by all the prospects your trying to attract.

What’s so important about your LBL?

To explain...

In search engine optimization, we develop your website content based on selected keywords describing your product or service. 

In local Internet marketing, we develop your content based on your LBL. Period. (Sort of. We still optimize your text with keyword-rich phrases, But it’s your LBL that will get you found in your marketplace.)

Your Starting Point … 

First step: Verify your LBL info with the 3 primary data input sources the search engines rely on. (Contact us for the how-to stuff.) Then verify that each search engine’s info about your business is identical to what the data sources have. Ditto with the various Internet directories.

Now you’re off and running!

Time is the most valuable thing one can spend.

With that in mind, I sincerely thank you for spending a minute or two learning about local Internet marketing. If you offer a service locally, your time will be richly rewarded.

Whether you're an attorney, a real estate or insurance professional, a builder or architect, an educational, medical or social organization -- any type of service seeking more clients in your geography -- we can help you.

Personally speaking (I'm Don Kaufman, president of ClikTru), I consider this a sort of entrepreneurial therapy. So pull up a virtual couch, throw your feet up and tell us what you hope to accomplish via the Web. But rest assured, we don't charge $200 an hour :)
