Showing Up on Google Can Change Everything

When you're running a small business, your time, energy, and resources are precious. You’re wearing all the hats. From product creation to customer service to managing the books, it can feel like you have to do it all. Somewhere in there, you are also expected to market yourself. But here’s the truth: local marketing is not just another task on your list. It is a powerful way to connect with the people in your own community who are already looking for what you offer.

And the key to making that connection? Being found on Google.

The Power of Being Local

Local marketing is about more than geography. It is about relevance, trust, and showing up for the people who are most likely to visit your space, browse your site, or book your service. When someone searches for "coffee shop near me" or "massage therapist in town," you want your business to appear right where it matters.

About 46 percent of all Google searches are local. And more than 75 percent of users never scroll past the first page. That means if your business is not ranking well, you could be missing out on a steady stream of potential clients who are ready to take action.

Why Google Matters

Google is not just a search engine. It is where people go when they need answers, want to compare options, or are ready to make a decision.

When your business shows up in search results, on Google Maps, and in the right categories with helpful reviews, you become more than just a name. You become a trusted choice. But if your business is not showing up at all, even your best work can go unnoticed.
