Sharing buttons:
okay let's talk today about how joining
your local Chamber of Commerce can
actually help your online marketing
efforts wait what what did he just say
joining the chamber can help my online
marketing yeah it's true
we're going to go over three ways that
joining your local chamber of commerce
can actually help your online marketing
efforts the first one is the online
directory itself when people move into a
new city oftentimes they look to their
local Chamber of Commerce for goods and
services because they don't they don't
have any now they move from a different
state or a different city and so they're
looking for a new dentist they're
looking for a new person to cut their
yard different areas of the home and if
you have your listing on the online
director in the chamber then your one of
the resources they can call and research
to see if you want to be a right fit for
them and that leads me to the second
benefit of joining the local chamber
which is for the SEO game that you get
what I mean by SEO is search engine
optimization or the ability to be found
in a search engine such as Google or
Bing so when someone types in lawn care
service in Allen then you'll show up and
you get the benefit from joining a local
chamber because Google recognizes local
directories and local chambers as having
their reputable site to have your
website on and the more sites of value
by Google that you have your website
listed in the higher your website's
going to right now I want to make sure
that we're clear let's stop down for
just a second if you go and join your
local chamber right now and put your
website on there you're not going to
magically be number one there's several
other factors that go into your your
ranking but that is going to be another
one you can check off it's it's another
ranking factor the other things you know
we can definitely sit down and talk
about those things we can help you with
those as part of our service but by
joining your local chamber you are going
to get a high quality link and locally
anyways the third one and probably the
most important
when you sort to network with people
when you go to the Chamber meetings I'm
a part I'm a proud member of the Allen
Fairview chamber and it's really helped
grow my business through word of mouth
but and also people start to to be
friends with you on Facebook and start
to like your Facebook pages and follow
them on Twitter so you're gonna start to
grow your network organically through
people that you meet and not only that
when you start exchanging services
within the chamber by going to different
again you have to build a relationships
in person go to the networking groups go
to the ribbon cuttings go to the
after-hours events and things like that
and really get to know people they'll
start to trust you and when you are able
to provide them with services if they
ask then typically they'll be the ones
to want to review you to because they
see you all the time you gave them great
services the more reviews yet online the
better that your business looks online
but you can grow your audience us it's
it's a slow process but you can grow it
organically because these people know
you you want to like their page
typically they'll reciprocate that just
another way to grow your sphere of
influence online by these in-person
relationships those three reasons why I
highly recommend as a business owner
that you really consider joining your
local Chamber of Commerce that really
help you or your business in person but
also it will directly affect your online
marketing efforts as well
