Small Business Local Social Media – Geo Targeting Twitter for Small Business

By Latha Lukose On March 24, 2012 · 7 Comments

Small Businesses can use the geo feature of Twitter to reach relevant prospects and drive sales. If your small business caters to a local audience, then you will find that this tip can be very valuable to drive up visits and sales.

This technique is one of the Off Page SEO Techniques which can be utilized by small businesses.

Grab a twitter account with your location in the name. Optimize this twitter account with an avatar image which is geo specific.

The bio of the twitter account should be specific to that location or city.

Follow people in your location. After all you are catering to these people. Post relevant content (relevant to your location, including latest events, happenings, news)

Until now I still don’t have the concrete idea “which is which”

In promoting products which is better?

The FB or Twiiter”?

Hi,

Good idea. This is especially relevant for hybrid small business, e.g., providers of VA services (virtual assistant). Twitter geotargeting could bring them local customers, which would be reassured knowing they are in a relatively close location.

Thanks for the tip!

i think social media is important for small businesses just because it is a cheaper way to get the word out on a very popular platform where word of mouth can go a long way.
