Let's say, I’m an independent local business that is part of a statewide or national chain.

Issues to overcome:

• Head office provides marketing brand awareness but I’m responsible for building and maintaining the local business
• Representation of local businesses on the corporate website is limited or non-existent

• Facebook brings in business hogs valuable time that should be spent on other things. Facebook needs to constantly be fed stories to maintain organic reach
• We’re listed on Google My Business but don’t maintain it
