Why Local Businesses Should Stop Paying for Vanity Metrics
Views and likes from overseas followers do not fill your restaurant. Here is why you should optimize for local engagement.
Ten thousand views sounds impressive. Ten thousand followers looks like influence. But if those views come from bots or users in another country, they do absolutely nothing for your local business.
For local businesses—a restaurant in Fort Worth, a gym in Dallas, a salon in Austin—paying for global reach is paying for the wrong audience.
What actually matters for local businesses: - Did someone in my city see the content? - Did they click through to my website? - Did they request directions to my location? - Did they redeem a coupon or make a purchase?
