What to fix first
Three things that cost almost nothing, work within weeks, and make every later decision easier. Most local engagements start here.
Be the obvious answer on the map
Most Lexington searches for a service start on Google Maps, not a website. A finished profile, the right category, and recent reviews decide who gets the call.
Know where customers come from
Before spending more, record where the last twenty customers came from. In this market it is usually referrals and the map, and the answer changes where the budget goes.
Pick two channels and run them well
A mid-sized market rewards depth. Two channels done properly for a year beat six channels done occasionally, and they are far easier to measure.
Local knowledge
The fundamentals are the same everywhere. The details that decide whether they work are local. A few that come up in almost every Lexington engagement:
- 01
Word of mouth still decides most hires here, so a referral system is not optional
- 02
Click costs on Google run below big-metro averages, which makes search ads more forgiving
- 03
Neighborhoods and nearby towns are search terms: Chevy Chase, Hamburg, Beaumont, Georgetown, Nicholasville
- 04
The university calendar, the horse industry and bourbon tourism shape demand for a lot of local businesses
