Time is running out for local business owners to ensure they can be found online before holiday shopping begins.

Arroyo Grande, United States - November 22, 2017 /PressCable/ —

The holidays are coming, and local shops around the nation are eagerly awaiting the flood of people into their stores. Many retailers count on holiday business to make up the bulk of their yearly sales, but one expert is sounding the alarm to those who haven’t yet created an online presence for their store.

“Times have changed, and if local retailers haven’t yet created a local business listing so internet savvy consumers can find them, I’m afraid many of them will be disappointed in this year’s holiday sales,” say a spokesman from FindUsLocal.com, a local business directory that allows business owners to list their stores, service businesses, and restaurants for free.

He says that local business directories are just as good as having a company website because most of today’s consumers look for quick information about local businesses, and local directories are the way they access that information.

“The key is to fill in all the details about a company, such as the correct name, address, phone number, and website address if there is one,” he says. “But people should only do this on quality local business directories because credible citations are important to Google’s algorithms.”

As retailers across the nation are preparing for Black Friday, there are only a couple of days to ensure that customers who look online for local businesses can find them.
