    I started a business where i live, we provide a windshield replacement service. I allready have a website, but i only get about 15 visits a day organically from search engines.

    Is there other ways besides google where people could find my services locally?

    I would suggest you post some ads on craigslist for your area. What area are you in?

    Submit your business to Google maps that should help bring in some targeted searches to your site.

    First Google the terms:

    “Seattle wa business directory”
    “Seattle business directory”

    then get listed in directory sites like
    ;
    http://seattle.citysearch.com/

    http://www.resourcelinks.net/seattlewa.htm
    http://seattle.citystar.com/
    http://us.loadedweb.com/cities/washington/seattle/directory/

    You can find a bunch of them. Go to each site and choose the appropriate category then place your listing.

    If the site will let you place a link back to your website then make sure that the link is targeting one of your primary key words like
    "Seattle windshield replacement”

    Keep building these links.

    Then look at some Local Newspaper sites.

    http://www.thestranger.com/seattle/Home
    http://www.nwsource.com/classifieds/

    Craig list is a great place especially if you can offer a special discount.


    Head over to your local truck stops and diners and place some big bright flyers with tear off coupons on their bulletin board. Do the same at Wall mart and local malls and grocery stores. Local radio spots can work well also.

    Hope these ideas get you thinking. I’m sure you can come up with a lot more than I have here.

    Good luck with your new business!...

    Maybe you wanna focus on SEO as it's free traffic from google (Note: google has like more than 3/4 share of the pie in search engines people used around in the world).

    It takes time but the knowledge is priceless.
