Your first clients in a new place: where a service provider should start

Starting a business in a new country is not only about skills, but also about people finding out about you. The good news: the first clients usually come not from advertising, but from visibility and recommendations. Here is where to start.

Become visible in search

When someone looks for a service in a new city, they google it. A separate profile page with your city and your service helps people find exactly you — there, where social media stays silent. The more mentions and links there are, the better you are seen.

Ask for recommendations

Your first satisfied clients are your best marketing. Don't be shy about asking them to briefly tell their friends about you or mention you in the local community chat. One sincere review is worth many ads.

Make the first step easy

Make it easy to get in touch with you: clear contact details, a messenger, online booking. The less effort the first message takes, the more of those messages you get.
