What if I can only afford to fix one thing first?

Start with your Google Business Profile and your website's contact path — they're the cheapest big wins. A complete profile gets you on the map; a clear way to reach you stops the leads you do get from slipping away.

Isn't social media enough of a presence?

Social is a great extra, but you don't own it — the platform does, and it can change the rules anytime. A website and profile you control are the foundation; social is the megaphone on top.

How do I know if my foundations are good enough?

A simple test: pull out your phone and try to find and contact your business the way a customer would, in under 30 seconds. If you struggle, they will too — and that's your to-do list.
