Most small business owners have tried marketing at some point. Maybe it was running ads. Maybe it was posting consistently on social media. Maybe it was hiring someone to “handle it.” And at first, the results look promising; Impressions go up, traffic comes in, people start clicking around. But then… nothing really happens. No steady leads. No consistent calls. No real growth. So the conclusion becomes: “marketing doesn’t work.” But that’s almost never the real issue.
