What are affordable marketing options for small businesses?
Focus on three levers: SEO quick wins (titles, internal links, FAQs), Local SEO (GBP + steady reviews), and evergreen Q&A content that captures intent and links to your services.
In two sentences
These are low-cost, compounding activities that drive visitors and enquiries without ads. Start with the highest-impact page each week and keep publishing one new Q&A.
