All “Done for You” members and #SupportLocal Sponsors also receive quarterly strategy sessions. During this meeting, we’ll discuss your upcoming promotions and ensure you’re taking advantage of all the resources available to help you grow your business.

Amplify Your Message

As small business owners ourselves, we know how hard it can be to compete against “the big guys” with massive marketing budgets. That’s why we’re committed to using the power of our website traffic, search rankings, and social media following to help local businesses share their stories.

DiscoverBradenton.com attracts over 25,400 visitors and receives over 34,900 page views each month. We also organically rank for many of the most popular local search terms. In addition, we currently have over 15,000 Facebook followers and reach an average of 96,600 users each month.

This allows us to help you amplify your message and improve your organic reach. It’s one of the best ways to get it in front of people who are actively looking for the products and services you provide!
