Many shoppers now check a business online before they visit, so outdated hours, broken links or quiet social media pages can cost local businesses sales.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The agency recommends five steps owners can take this month:<\/p>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li>Update Google Business Profile hours, holiday hours and photos<\/li>\n<li>Check that the website loads quickly and works on mobile phones<\/li>\n<li>Plan two to three weeks of social media posts promoting holiday offers<\/li>\n<li>Send an email to past customers announcing Small Business Saturday deals<\/li>\n<li>Ask satisfied customers to leave online reviews<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">&ldquo;Small businesses don&rsquo;t need a huge budget to compete during the holidays. They need to be easy to find and easy to trust online,&rdquo; said Dawn Julian, founder of SocialTrend Marketing Solutions. &ldquo;A few hours of preparation now can make a real difference on Nov. 28.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Julian, a former educator, founded the agency and regularly speaks to chambers of commerce, business groups and colleges on social media marketing, search engine optimization and website design.
