How are you staying visible in 2026?
You’re competing against more voices and brands than ever before. But you still need to stand out.
You want customers to remember YOU when they need what you offer.
I just posted a video outlining five suggestions for staying front of mind. Here’s what I’ve found works.
1. Leverage social media
Maybe a bit obvious, but it’s still important in 2026. You should think of it as a resume for you and your company. When someone looks you up, they’ll likely check your Instagram, YouTube, or LinkedIn pages.
Review your profiles. Do they convey the right message today?
2. Be active on your channels
It’s not enough to just be on social media. You need to post regularly.
My recommendation is to build a system that lets you post easily. The more automated the process, the easier it’ll be for you to stick to the rhythm.
3. Utilize email marketing
To engage past clients and differentiate communications with prospects. Consistent and frequent (but not TOO frequent) emails help ensure you show up in the inbox.
4. Explore extra touchpoints
Think of these as bonus opportunities for visibility. Attend trade shows, invest in local signage, and support local charities. These efforts may be harder to quantify, but they do help brand recognition.
5. Consider paid ads
While the previous tips focus on free methods, don’t overlook paid ad options on platforms like Google, Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn. Google’s local service ads in particular can be very effective.
If you need help with any of these steps, let’s talk!
