I have still had good luck with PPC even for relatively small local areas. I have always been a PPC guy so I tend to focus on that mostly, but social media can work for the right niche. It has to be the right niche though, where PPC will work for anything. That’s an interesting idea, good luck with it!

Then I can relax the invoicing to 2x a month or longer in some cases. The key is to build solid payment terms into your contract up front so their is no confusion about how and when things should be paid.

But for landing outside clients, the last thing you want to do is have a problem collection for valid leads... how does your firm handle it?

Not the "big" local paper, but the local papers for each suburb of my city. It's generally pretty easy to get something written up in those, especially when you are trying to do something to help out locally. My theory is that tying my business to the 3/50 Project that has already gotten a lot of press will make for a good local news story. Anyway, just a thought. It doesn't cost anything except your time to write up the press release and contact the local journalists. Chad, One further question, if you don't mind. Do you find the PPC methods a better way to drive leads than SEO type stuff? I have some local sites that are at the top of the SERPs, but the number of searches is very small. My local accountants site gets about 10 visitors a day during tax season even though I'm #1 for a bunch of local accountant/tax terms. For reference, my local area is about 1 million people, so it's not exactly a small town. I haven't tried Facebook yet, but I'm thinking that might be a better way to target local people, kind of like the Shoemoney post a while back. I don't believe the number of leads he was claiming in that post because I don't think a dentist can treat that many patients. Any insight you feel comfortable sharing about this is appreciated. If not, no worries. I'm not trying to get you to give up all your "secrets." :) Rob Ken,

One thing I’m working on now, but haven’t “launched” yet is a piggy-back effort off of the 3/50 Project.

Currently I run very close to a budget problem 2x month when it comes time to pay adwords, yahoo, facebook and MSN. I know I'm making a profit but aren't really able to up my credit limits on my CC's right now. And clients don't exactly pay me the same week most times either.

What have you done Chad or anyone to advertise your local marketing services besides the above? Phone book listing? Local newspaper ad? I've mostly gone after certain companys and companies aren't able to follow me. I am NOT turning away clients and don’t have anyone calling me although I’m on relying on referrals right now.
