Be the local expert. Helping riders in your area enjoy the experience of riding is a cornerstone of a successful modern independent bicycle retailer’s business plan. When you help cyclists in your area find places to ride, you become a trusted resource in your community.
Win Local Search for the Best Rides in Your Area
How do you do that? You want to capture search traffic in your area for queries like “best road bike rides in Chicago” or “top gravel bike routes in Southern California.” Creating relevant content on your SmartEtailing website can help you capture that search traffic, create trust with new customers, and draw them into your business.
We’ve recently completed a project to create a landing page that makes it easy for any SmartEtailing client to embed content from the ride-sharing platform, blackriver. This pre-designed content will help you encourage customer engagement, build community, and earn new customers with an easy-to-update “Local Rides” or “Favorite Rides” page that leverages your expertise, shop character, and local insights.
Based on recommendations from our clients, we partnered with blackriver to design a landing page (link) and homepage highlight (link) that will help you deliver valuable local content to your customers.
How To Install Content From blackriver
We want to make this easy to implement, so you can start driving traffic to your website and connect with cyclists in your area. Sharing your blackriver profile and routes on your website will improve your local search engine optimization (SEO) and help you work your way to page one on Google when someone in your area searches for a great place to ride.
