YES, have made it to Step 5 so obviously you have put in some amazing work to this point – or if you are just getting started, that is great too (check out the previous posts 👇 below for guidance on foundational steps #1 – # 4):
And we do this through customer “citations” linking to your business. Citations are the listings for your business on well-established sites that Google, Yahoo! & Bing view as authorities & so return their results at the top of local searches.
It is of utmost importance that your citations are 1) accurate & 2) that you claim them in your own brand voice so you are showing up exactly how you want to for new customers. These 2 steps are simple & will increase your rankings & help customers find you with ease. These are the sites you should focus on today:
And depending on your business niche, there are thousands more for you to consider – for example, if you are a local pizza restaurant (YUM), you would also list your business in Zomato.com & Localeats.com, if you are a landscape designer
consider Angieslist.com.
Speaking of pizza we do a family pizza night every Friday. And last night my hubby & I had a date night & we tried a new spot on Mercer Island that blew our minds called Mioposto!
It was THE place to be so there was a bit of a wait for a table so to pass the time we Googled Wine Bars near me & were happy to find Barrels Wine Bar just around the corner.
What a super cool vibe! It was also packed but we found a couple seats at the end of the wine bar, ordered some rose & a beer & the person serving us was the owner Tina. We had a great conversation with her & her husband Joe & they shared their journey that brought them to living their dream of owning a wine bar!
This is their retirement & the smiles on their faces show they are rocking life in a really beautiful way.
We were buzzed that our table was ready at Mioposto so we headed back, joined the great crowd, asked for the waitresses favorites & ordered the Zucca Balsamica pizza, TC had the Pinocchio & WOW, next level! If you haven’t been & are a pizza fan, trust me – go & you will thank me later!
If you are near, check out both of these joints for an amazing evening!
