Simply Be Found was created out of a marketing and advertising discussion between Rob and Dean. Rob posed the question of how well Dean’s business was being found online and mobile devices. Dean was confident he was being found because his business was seeing steady growth. So, Dean was standing in his screen-printing showroom and a voice search was done, and his business did not even make the list on his phone screen.
The proverbial gauntlet was thrown down and the question was raised: How many other small businesses are having the same issues of being not found by customers, and not knowing that there is a problem and how to fix it? After some research, the Simply Be Found platform was created to help small businesses. It is designed for simplicity and being straightforward. All business information and data are controlled and owned by the business owner or manager.
Also, it is affordable for any business size, no contracts are required, we have a month-to-month payment plan where you can cancel at any time. We want to earn your business membership every month. The idea of membership was developed because we want and need feedback from you to remain dynamic in the quest for better online advertising for entrepreneurs. Just an update, because of using the tools from Simply Be Found, Dean’s business is now seen in the number one slot of the local map three-pack.
As a member, we built our platform based on what your needs are, so we get something useful and not just another tool. We do not have a company board. Instead, we have members who propose and control new features and aim the direction to where we are heading.
Simply Be Found has a personal stake in our business member’s success first. Whether you are a small one-person startup or a larger multiple-location business, Simply Be Found is there to guide you to grow your customer base using the tools on the platform, informational videos and documents, and our team, always ready to support you. We would always want your feedback on what you think customers need to better find your business
