The short answer

A small local business does not need every marketing channel. It needs to be found by people nearby who are already looking, and to answer them quickly. In most cases that comes down to a Google Business Profile, a website that says clearly what you do and where, reviews, and one paid channel if you want more enquiries than those bring in.

The publisher of this guide, Dean Keating, does this work from Horndean. Call or message Dean.

The channels, and what each is for

Google Business Profile. Free, and the first thing to get right. It puts you on the map and in "near me" searches. See our Google Business Profile guide.

A website you own. Your profile sends people somewhere. A site with a page for each service and each area gives search engines something to rank, and gives customers a reason to call. See how websites are priced.

SEO. The ongoing work of ranking those pages. See SEO in Waterlooville.

Facebook and Instagram ads. Paid, and useful when people are not searching for you yet: a new business, a seasonal offer, a service people do not know they need. See Facebook ads for local businesses.

Local listings. A free page on Waterlooville.co and other directories, with the same name, address and phone number everywhere.

AI assistants. People now ask ChatGPT for local recommendations. See how to get recommended by ChatGPT.

Replying fast. Marketing is wasted if enquiries wait until the evening for an answer. AI agents can reply and follow up for you. See AI automation for small businesses.

Where to start

Start with what is free: claim and complete your Google Business Profile, claim your Waterlooville.co page, and ask your last ten customers for a review. Then decide whether you need a website, or a better one. Only then think about paying for adverts.

Questions to ask a marketing provider

What will you do, and how will I see it? Who owns the website, the ad account and the data? Is there a contract or minimum term? What happens if I stop?
