I also think that you can use banners for promoting your local business. In this case you should bear in mind that you are putting your banners in the better places. You can use also some Promotional Items as like T-shirts, mugs and canvas bags with your business name displayed in bold letters which will helps your company get itself in front of your audience. What do you think about it??

I am totally agree with you. I also think that besides other promoting options local newspapers and magazines can help to promote business. Do you have any suggestions for writing these informative articles for promoting local business? Should someone follow some kind of rules? Please share your ideas.

If you are thinking to publish a magazine, then you need to follow few steps to it. First, decide the theme of your magazine. You can select any theme which can relate to your business. Start collecting the artwork, photographs for it. About writing the article, there are no such rules, but try to read maximum articles related to your theme and then you will get some idea about it. You can write about the latest updates, news related post. You can also include few interviews of the experts in that field. Also take advice from your friends/relatives about what type of articles they like to read.

You can add the different topics related to SEO, the updates and news about it, interviews of experts in that industry etc. You can get more ideas through the other related magazines. You can make it interactive through the quiz section where you can give questions for users to solve. Afterwards you can publish it in digital version.

It depends upon business to business or person to person. According to me the best option is standy. people go regular to watch movies in multiplex. so the local companies can display there ads on standy. The other options are colorful ad in newspaper , radio fm , yellow pages , local magazines and local newspaper. Today local web directory or online directory is also getting very popular for any promotion.

Good tips. Displaying ads on standy, newspapers, radio or magazines can target many people at a time. So it can be beneficial to go with these traditional methods. We can also publish the periodicals like magazines/brochures bi-weekly or monthly to generate brand awareness.

As for Seo, first of all concentrate simply on your on-page content,make a compelling landing page,mention your business name,phone number,business address clearly on the home page.And one thing try to make your website fast (in terms of loading time).It depends a lot.
After this you should go for offpage.And don't forget to integrate an internal onsite blog,it will help you very much.

Hello atlanticenvs,

Thanks a lot for your kind response. I am now clear that I need to use On-page SEO before using off-page SEO methods. I am not sure about integrating an internal on-site blog. What does it mean? How can I do it? Waiting for your kind response.
