If you're running a small business here in the Coachella Valley, there's one question you need to ask yourself. Are your customers finding you online or are they finding your competitors? Hi, I'm Jeff Harrison with Swing Point Media. And today I want to talk about the power of digital marketing for local service based businesses. Whether you're in Palm Desert, Indio, La Quinta, or anywhere nearby, the truth is simple. If you're not showing up online, you're missing out on leads, calls, and new clients. Here's the deal. 97% of consumers use the Internet to find local services. That means your website, your Google profile, your reviews, and your social media presence. They're not optional, they're essential.
