After that, you have to give proof of your business so that Google will send you a code by offline-mail, than after you will verify your local business it will start showing your business card to relative searchers. That's all you can do it with many other free business listing sites so go and find your area's best business listing website where you don't have to pay.

3. Social Networks

With regular use of social media apps and websites by users from the whole world, you can easily target your customers and readers. All you have to do is just create your small business page or profile on every major social media platform like Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn.

Then start sharing updates and relative content to those pages and profiles, and also don't forget to share your blog posts. For example, if done correctly, LinkedIn outreach can be very lucrative. It is a great place to find both potential customers and new team members.

To make you aware of social media power here I am attaching a social media user stats chart:

This a valid chart which is showing you the exact active monthly users on different social media networks. No doubts that Mark Zuckerberg is the king of today's social media with Facebook, WhatsApp and Messenger and also the Instgram he is your guy to do digital marketing for your small business. Make sure you are testing other social media networks as well as they converts better.

4. Email Marketing

It sounds weird when we talk about email marketing for small businesses as they don't need an email list to sell products online or get customers to their outlets. But, as of today we should test out everything and stick to those which work best for us. So that I am here and suggesting you that you should try Email marketing.

As people are serious about emails and every email which is successfully sent and someone read, there is 90% chance that you will get that person as your client or a visitor.

Why? because people open their email accounts just for checking new offers and their most important messages so that emails converts best than other mediums.

5. Advertise

The most advanced way around to get your customer to find you easily and know about you is advertising your small business online. If you are targeting a city than it will be really beneficial for you. As you will get to categorize your adverts audience by selecting their gender and interests.

On Facebook and Google Adwords you will be able to set your CPC (cost per click) advertisements to promote your local business and they will show your ads to your selected audience or you can select a set of keywords on which you want to show your small business details. Of course, this will cost you but the thing is you will get a nice ROI (return on investment) because your ads are showing to only targeted and relative people.

That means you will pay for what you want to pay and there's no trick here. You can stop your ads at any time you want. There are so many advertising networks, but for small businesses, I recommend using Google Adwords or Facebook and test out their own minds.

Adwords or Facebook advertising network is not small but as small businesses have to invest a small portion of their income per month I suggest you test online advertising with these networks by paying $10 or $20 then check how much ROI you are getting so that you can start investing more money or stop if its not working for you.
