How to increase online presence?

I am trying to help my husband, a small business owner increase his presence online for his septic tank business. His father started the business and back in those days there was no internet :)

 

AT&T is working on him a website and i have edited his information on google places.

is there other sites I should be looking at?

how can we increase his rating (how far up he is online) without spending alot of money?

Re: How to increase online presence?

  • You could advertise his company on your local Craigslist or community newspaper website (if there is one).  Local exposure is a great way to get more business! 

    Perhaps business cards would be a good idea, too.  Good luck!! 

    Visit The Nest!
  • See if there are ratings for you guys on Google, and especially on Yelp. If not, you can offer discounts to existing clients if they agree to write a review for you. I pay a lot of attention to reviews, so you could be losing business if you don't have any yet.

    This. Maybe offer deals for people who do referrals or offer free consults or some type of deal. Local exposure will work. Make sure you are in the phone book. See what the local paper offers. Maybe local boards at grocery stores or something. Is there some type of group or association he can join that can help him too?

  • Create a Facebook page and connect to other local businesses

  • Answer questions on quora, write an helpful article on squidoo, press releases, guest blog (not sure about where people blog about spectic tanks though).  Create a facebook page.  Create a youtube channel and film FAQs?  Get customer reviews from yelp and in google.  

    Find a Internet marketing firm :P 

  • Do you have a service you can offer a daily deal for, like Groupon or Livingsocial? If you have a standard septic cleaning package, for example. If you can afford to discount that, a daily deal with get you LOTS of links to your page, which will increase your google ranking. But obviously you'd have to look at the financial impact of doing that.
