Why Your Propane Business MUST Show Up Online
When people need propane service, whether they’re new to the area, switching fuel sources, or fed up with their current company’s poor service, the first thing they do is Google “propane companies.” Your competitors know this, and they’re fighting hard to show up first in those search results, while your business might be nowhere to be found or have inaccurate information. Don’t let potential customers slip away to your competition simply because they can’t find you online when they need you most.
The Problems Killing Your Propane Business
Invisible to Local Searchers
If your business doesn’t appear when potential customers search “propane companies” or “propane delivery [city name],” it’s impossible for them to even consider you as an option.
Outdated or Incorrect Contact Information Kills Sales
Wrong phone numbers, old addresses, or incorrect business hours frustrate loyal customers and new prospects trying to reach you, causing them to move on to competitors with accurate, up-to-date listings.
Map & Voice Search Invisibility
Did you know that when customers ask Siri, Google Assistant, or Alexa to “find propane companies nearby,” or use GPS navigation to locate services, results come from hundreds of interconnected search engines and directories. You won’t get your fair share of voice or map search results if you’re not listed across these platforms.
