Here’s a helpful flyer we put together to explain the benefits in more detail.

Yelp Ads give business owners the opportunity to showcase their products and services to people nearby who are already searching for what they offer. According to a Yelp study, 57% of users contact a business they found on Yelp within a day. On your behalf, we work directly with Yelp to launch, manage, optimize your ads, and report the results—so your business stands out at the exact moment customers are ready to take action.

I bet you didn’t know Yelp gets over 1.2 million impressions a month in Lincoln Parish alone. Want to see what it costs to grab a share of that traffic? Check out our flyer—it’s got custom pricing based on your business category.

Whether you’re subscribed to Local Ads or a higher plan, or purchasing a single Local Digital Ads upgrade, we’ll work with you to craft the exact message you want to promote. Then, we’ll design custom graphics and include your message in our active Facebook and Google Display campaigns. Your ad will reach hundreds of potential local customers each day—connecting you with the right audience through a custom message crafted specifically for your business.

An advertorial is a blend of an advertisement and an editorial—designed to educate and engage readers while subtly promoting your business. We start by crafting a set of relevant questions tailored to the product or service you want to highlight. From there, we write a compelling article, publish it on sholoc.com, post it on social media, and boost it in your local area—putting your business in front of the right people at the right time.

White-label services are partnerships we’ve built with companies that offer powerful—often costly—tools and applications typically out of reach for individual businesses. Through these agreements, we’re able to deliver advanced digital marketing solutions to our subscribers. As a result, your business gets access to top-tier services that might otherwise be unattainable, while we handle everything behind the scenes to keep it seamless and stress-free.
