146: How to Find Clients In Your Local Area

Author: The Two Lauras March 4, 2025 Duration: 34:27

The great thing about being a social media manager is that you can work with whoever you want, wherever they are in the world. But, what if you really want to work with local businesses instead? In today’s episode, we’re sharing with you 12 different things you can try in order to attract companies in your area. And if you don’t want to work with local clients (and you share Laura Moore’s fear of bumping into them in Tesco), don’t forget you may one day work with a client who wants to attract local businesses. So tune in and soak up all that knowledge!

And don’t worry about getting your notebook out for this one – we’ve linked a handy blog post of all the tips below.

In this episode, we’re chatting about:

  • Optimising your online accounts and website for locals looking for what you offer
  • Ideas for reaching local businesses offline
  • Features on social media platforms you can utilise to get new local leads
  • Content ideas that will attract local businesses
  • And more!
