By leveraging the power of Surefire Local Marketing Platform, businesses of all sizes can ensure continuous refinement, improvement and expansion of a company’s local reach and digital reputation. With single sign-on and mobile access, along with hundreds of integrations, small businesses can better monitor, track and analyze its online marketing performance and presence in real-time. Surefire Local’s complete marketing solution enables local small businesses to better connect and engage with potential and existing customers to create broader brand awareness, generate a greater share of leads, drive higher ROI and win against competitors. Since 2010, Surefire Local’s award-winning technology has helped thousands of local businesses in North America compete with industry giants across a multitude of industries, including home improvement, health and wellness, legal services, professional services and more.

“BIA’s survey of local advertisers shows that only 17.2 percent work with agencies for their advertising and marketing,” said Rick Ducey, managing director of BIA Advisory Services. “Interestingly, it’s not the cost of agencies rather the results that limit agency use. Local advertisers who don’t use agencies are looking for better targeting, quality and consistency in their local marketing initiatives. About a quarter (27.9 percent) of local advertisers use their own data to assess their marketing ROI. A data-driven, integrated marketing platform can put these businesses miles ahead in their business development efforts.”
