MARKETING YOUR BUSINESS ONLINE

Marketing your business online after the 2020 Lockdown (in South Africa)

How do you effectively market your business online in 2021, with a limited budget?

Online marketing is key for the modern business, allowing prospective clients searching for your businesses' services online to find you.

Fortunately, friends are still there to spread the word and recommend your services on social media, even if the number of competitors seems to be growing daily. Clearly, it’s time to turn it up a notch to EFFECTIVE digital media, with a group of Online Directories that are so much more than just a collection of adverts!

Everybody knows Word-of-Mouth is excellent, and social media is OK. But truthfully, referrals from family and friends should always be taken with a pinch of salt, as the more intense the competition, the more flowering the praise. And unless you’re offering ‘nice-to-have’ products or a brand name, what’s the point of advertising your business on a board, or a banner, whether it be digital or physical? If you’re providing ‘on-demand’ type services, prospective customers won’t take much heed of those ads until they need your assistance. And more often than not, they will look to find help online.

That is when Assist247 stands out from the crowd. Even though there could be thousands of links to your business on the Internet, only 10 of them are relevant. They are the ten spots on the FIRST page of Google Search, where new clients will find your Assist247, Services4Africa, and Assist247.mobi links.

As an added benefit, you can also expect calls from assistance call centres. Because, with your permission, we will be sharing your details on our South African National Service Providers Database, which is used extensively by the assistance industry.
