Marketing tip for teacherpreneurs #9: Get listed
Right now you’re getting started and eagerly recruiting students, so it’s hard to imagine a day where you’ll be booked with no room for more kids. But that day will come sooner than you think, because you’re offering a service that people desperately need — quality education for children.
On that day, everyone will be finding you through online search, so you need to be listed.
It’s also great for SEO and all that jazz.
Here’s where I think you should list your program.
- Facebook fan page: Create your Facebook fan page and invite your friends to like it! https://www.facebook.com/pages (make sure to also add your facebook fan page to Buffer!)
- Yelp: Add your business to yelp. https://biz.yelp.com/signup_business/new
- Google Maps. Create or claim your google maps listing. Search for your microschool at maps.google.com then click add a missing place if it’s not there.
- More: Do a google search for programs similar to yours, eg “preschool” “Washington heights” and see where those programs are listed. Then make sure you are featured in the same directory! You can also do a google search for successful programs similar to yours and see where they are listed and list there.

Once you are done, be sure to include these listings in Buffer posts and ask all your wonderful friends to leave reviews!
