Here are some of Location3’s services

FRANCHISE DIGITAL MARKETING

Location3 understands that no two business locations are alike – even when they are part of the same company and brand. That understanding is what drives the company’s strategic approach to franchise digital marketing. Its in-house digital marketing experts and best-in-class technology combine to increase your company’s brand awareness and most importantly – drive customers into your stores.

LOCAL LISTING MANAGEMENT

Local listing management is an online marketing strategy that ensures all of your brick-and-mortar business locations are accurately listed on business directories like Google My Business, Facebook Places, Bing Places, Apple Maps, and more. Having accurate data and business listings optimized for core keywords also impacts your business listing ranking on all of the major search engines, which are critical in helping consumers find your business location.

Your local business listing is at the foundation of your online presence. It provides potential customers with basic business data including address, phone number, business hours, and more. Successful local listing management solidifies such foundational data while finding opportunities for improved SEO performance – resulting in increases in brand visibility and in-store revenue.

PAID SEARCH

Paid Search, or PPC, is an online marketing strategy that allows businesses to buy valuable advertising space on major search engine results pages.

This strategy is an efficient tool for driving customers into your stores as consumers continue to use online devices to find products and services in their area. An effective Paid Search strategy balances national and local tactics, and delivers relevant messaging to potential customers in a highly targeted geographic area or region at the moment they are looking for a solution.

Paid Search allows brands and businesses to compete directly for advertising space by bidding on keywords. If your bid wins, your business’ ad will show up on the top spot on the search engine results page. Your business must pay each time the ad is clicked, but through proper management, these costs can be minimized.

SEARCH ENGINE OPTIMIZATION

Search engine optimization, commonly referred to as SEO, is an online marketing strategy that increases your business’ visibility in organic search engine results.

The majority of your site traffic comes from the major search engines, including Google, Bing, and Yahoo. Search engines recognize well-structured sites that share valuable content with its users as well as sites that are endorsed through shared links. These sites are considered authoritative and rewarded with higher visibility in search engine results, ultimately increasing brand awareness and revenue for your business.

It’s important to note that search engine optimization is a long-term strategy that incorporates a wide range of tactics. But through extensive site optimizations and proactive campaign initiatives, this strategy delivers a lasting impact that rivals any digital marketing tactic.
