In 2013, USB Payment Processing was looking for a new way to serve local businesses in Maryland outside of merchant services. That’s when the idea for Maryland Local Deals came to fruition. Maryland Local Deals was an online platform for local businesses to post coupons and discounts on their products. While this website was effective in promoting local business deals, the COVID-19 pandemic changed everything in 2020.
The pandemic had a considerably negative impact on the local business economy across the United States. Because of this, our clients could no longer afford to offer coupons on our website. That’s when our team made the decision to revitalize the platform as Maryland Local Businesses. The platform transitioned from a traditional coupon promotion website to a more modern hub designed for strategic search engine optimization. Maryland Local Businesses offers business and job listings, blog features, social media promotions, networking event access, and more at an affordable rate.
Listings posted on Maryland Local Businesses use industry related keywords to ensure a high ranking in search results in search engines such as Google and Bing. Ranking highly in search engine results is a key step in gaining traffic to a businesses website and storefront.
Most online promotional websites focus on one specific service, but at Maryland Local Businesses, we package everything together. This makes the process of setting up the online presence of a business much simpler. If you would like to try our services out for free, click here to visit our trial listing page.
