“Everywhere!” is going to be the ebullient byword for approaching a brand new year of local search marketing with gusto. In 2022, the opportunity is there for local businesses to be everywhere customers are looking at a time when they are particularly open to change, whether that’s exploring new companies, testing new brands, or trying new modes of communication.
Public health, and its direct impacts on local businesses, will remain unpredictable. However, what’s as sure a bet as you’ll find anywhere these days is that if the companies you market can be found and liked by customers, you can significantly expand the number of neighbors you get to serve with care, compassion, and a commitment to making this a very good year for brick-and-mortar shops and SABs.
