Best way to increase local web presence

I have two websites www.bigtimspawn.com and www.bigtimspawn.blogspot.com and I am using adwords and google local to get the word out. What are the most effective ways to increase this and any other ideas for a business. I am looking at a 10 mile radius of customers. Thanks for the help. If this is what you do for a living (marketing) let me know happy to pay for your work.

 

One thing I've done for a local restaurant is to set up an email list for them with weekly specials(not sure this is applicable to pawn industry) you also need to either help or encourage people to write reviews in Yelp and other online sources (again, not sure about your industry).

Like almost everything online, you need to have done great keyword research and start building links to rank for those selected keywords.

 

thanks nice advice

 

There are local newspapers that you can post your ad for free when they need to fill up adspace.

 

yes there is but I was looking to get more eyeballs to my website locally, thanks for the thought though

 

Have you tried facebook ads? They are much more targeted when compared to adwords. I'd suggest check out the vouchers section here, there are plenty facebook vouchers going cheap.

 

fb ads suck for me I have two running for 2 weeks never had a single click

 

I am not sure if you could use Craigslist for your site that may be a good option.

 

Have you tried link building its also a good way to get traffic from search engines

 

Postcard marketing is also a good way to get some local clicks.
