Arroyo Grande, CA, United States - March 8, 2018 /PressCable/ —

Far too many local shop and restaurant owners are relying on old-school marketing efforts and struggle when it comes to bringing in new business according to an expert in the field.

“Those local shop owners who still rely on phone book and newspaper ads to bring in new customers are hurting,” says a spokesman from FindUsLocal.com, an online small business directory that uses innovative technology to make finding local businesses easier for consumers. “We want to help spread the word that unless a local store, service business, or restaurant has an online presence, they are not going to attract much new business.”

That’s because today’s shoppers look online when they want to find US local businesses. In fact, recent studies have shown that 1 out of every 2 shoppers first look to local business directories when searching for local shops.

“It’s not difficult to set up a local business listing,” he says, “And the best part is that it’s absolutely free. All people have to do is go to a free small business directory, type in the name of their business, and then claim the listing. Next, they should fill in as many details as they can and save it. Then they should ask their customers to leave reviews on the local listing, and that’s it. They get more new customers from that free, 10 minute process than they will from an expensive phone book or newspaper ad.
