The first thing most people do when they hear about your business isn’t call, visit, or even check social media. They Google you.
And what they find, those first few search results, reviews, and photos, can make or break their decision to do business with you. Before your customer ever walks through the door, they’ve already formed an opinion. The question is: are you shaping that opinion, or letting the internet do it for you?
At Big Red Dog Marketing, we help small businesses take control of their online presence, making sure what customers find reflects who you actually are.
First Impressions Live on Page One
Page one of Google is your new storefront. If your business doesn’t show up there, or if what does show up isn’t flattering, potential customers will move on.
Think about it. When was the last time you clicked to page two of Google? Exactly.
If your website is outdated, your listings are inconsistent, or your competitors have better SEO, your business might be invisible to the people searching for you. That’s why online visibility isn’t just nice to have, it’s non-negotiable.
Big Red Dog Marketing helps small businesses show up where it matters most. From optimizing your website to managing your Google Business Profile, we make sure your digital first impression is a good one.
Reviews Speak Louder Than Ads
Customer reviews aren’t just feedback, they’re marketing gold. Over 90% of people read online reviews before buying, and they trust them almost as much as personal recommendations.
If your Google reviews are scarce, outdated, or (yikes) negative, it doesn’t just hurt your ego, it hurts your conversion rate. People want reassurance that you’re reliable, trustworthy, and consistent.
We help businesses manage and encourage authentic reviews. Big Red Dog Marketing creates strategies to request feedback at the right moments, respond professionally to criticism, and build a positive online reputation that boosts both credibility and visibility.
Content Is the Backbone of Visibility
When customers Google you, search engines look for relevant, consistent content. If your website hasn’t been updated since 2018 or your last blog post is about a holiday special from two years ago, Google takes notice, and ranks you accordingly.
Fresh content signals that your business is active and trustworthy. It also helps you target keywords your customers are already searching for. Blogs, FAQs, service updates, and educational resources all build SEO authority over time.
That’s why Big Red Dog Marketing offers blog management, keyword research, and SEO-driven content strategies that put small businesses in front of the right audience. We make sure your website speaks your customers’ language, and Google’s, too.
Consistency Across Platforms Builds Trust
Your website says one thing, your Google listing says another, and your Facebook page hasn’t been updated since last fall. Sound familiar? Inconsistent information, different phone numbers, old addresses, mismatched branding, confuses customers and frustrates search engines.
Online consistency builds trust. When every digital touchpoint matches, customers feel confident that your business is legitimate and professional.
Big Red Dog Marketing audits your online presence to ensure every listing, social profile, and piece of content aligns with your brand. We make sure your customers see a cohesive story, no matter where they find you.
Reputation Isn’t Just About Damage Control
When business owners hear “online reputation,” they often think of crisis management, putting out fires after a bad review or PR mishap. But reputation management isn’t just reactive. It’s proactive.
Building authority and credibility before something goes wrong means you’ll have a strong foundation to fall back on. Think of it as digital insurance: the stronger your presence, the harder it is for a few negative results to define you.
At Big Red Dog Marketing, we don’t wait for damage control. We help businesses build a solid, trustworthy online identity that withstands the ups and downs of public opinion.
Take Control of Your Digital Story
Here’s the takeaway: people are Googling your business. You can’t stop it, but you can shape what they see.
When your online presence is polished, consistent, and optimized, your business becomes the obvious choice. When it’s neglected, your competition wins the click.
Big Red Dog Marketing helps small businesses reclaim their narrative. Through SEO, content creation, review management, and digital consistency, we make sure your Google results tell the story you want told.
Because in today’s world, if you’re not managing your online reputation, someone else (or something else) is.
