Pay For Traffic
You can open a Google Ads account to promote your website for a PPC pay Per Click fee and it is well recommended that you do so, if you want or need leads very quickly. This option will obviously cost you. If your SEO is good enough you should not need this option.
Likewise you could advertise on Facebook Ads and again it works well, if used properly. Make sure that you keep the target market demographics tight and put a cap on the spend. Otherwise your credit card could get mauled.
Both these options need careful managing, as they can end up costing a lot of wasted investment. This is where a specialist PPC specialist, social media marketer or a digital marketer can add a lot of value or save a lot of wasted spend.
And Newspapers are making a comeback, so consider your local paper or radio, which is also a great way to promote. When they give you their advertising oiptions, ask them for advice and ask for some guarantees too.
