When you contact your local marketing clients what should you be offering them? What kind of service should you provide?
This is of course totally up to you. What do you feel that you master when it comes to online marketing? Start with something that you feel really comfortable doing, something you know that you do really well. Maybe you are really good at setting up Google Places and rank them high. Then focus on that. Set yourself up for success. You will know SO much more than the average local business owner, to them you are the expert.
So what are some services you can offer local marketing clients?
The great thing is that if you start with something small, do a great job and over deliver, chances are that they will go for a bigger project if you suggest that to them and show them how it will benefit them.

Local is not going anywhere and the number of potential clients out there is continuing to grow as the more conventional businesses are starting to see more and more potential in the Internet. People aren't looking in the phonebook anymore to find a local service, they are using some sort of digital device and that represents a massive opportunity for everyone here!
Great training piece!

Good stuff. My dad actually owns a Bait & Tackle shop so this local marketing stuff is useful. --> https://www.facebook.com/charlestonian.fishnhut. I'm honestly more into the online affiliate marketing end of it though right now.

Yeah perhaps, hah. Wal-Mart's about the only competing place with my dad, even though my dad easily sells better equipment and more cared for live bait (crickets & worms). Wal-Mart sells a lot of fishing poles from Chinese areas (where they have people put in labor jobs creating not very good poles - you get the ideal) and my dad will only sell fishing poles from the U.S. area because he knows those are the good fishing poles to use. & then of course Bass Pro Shop is probably one of the best places to go, but a lot of there prices are off the charts especially with really good fishing poles (there's not a Bass Pro Shop around here anyway).
The place I live in really isn't very big & a lot of people already know that my dad is the only business to go to if anybody wants to fish. But given there's at least 30,000 people in the immediate area, I'm sure I can do at least a little good with online sites for the local area anyway for him. On top of that, I could add in some affiliate type of guides on an online site & make some extra revenue like that along with giving important information people need to know for the immediate area (along with putting Google Adsense on some of the info pages. You know. ;) There's a lot I could do.
Thanks again for the guide.
