"Since we're talking about social media, I'd like to recommend a few ways how Twitter can help your business. 1. Increase your followers! For example, if you specialize in marketing, follow other marketing professionals for tips, information or just to connect with them. That will make a huge difference. 2. Create Lists: Create lists to segregate and manage your leads. For instance, you could add your potential customers to one list and have another for those loyal customers that you already have. By creating lists, you are following them more closely and keeping track of their needs. Segregate customers depending on how important they are to you and which stage are they at in business terms, and segregate leads accordingly. 3. Post interesting Tweets: As mentioned above, your tweet will either make it or break it. A regular tweet is restricted to 140 characters but Lead Generation Cards can have up to 240 characters, which includes the tweet, description and CTA. That is all you have to convert a customer into a client. 4. Be active: Correspond with you followers on a daily basis. Re-tweet relevant information from other links or twitter accounts. Respond to queries. Make the most of “#HashTags” so they appear on the “Trends” section. All of this will also enhance your brand image. For example, don’t think for a minute that your followers would be inactive for a certain period of time. Most of them have Twitter apps on their phone which means they are watching you all the time! 5. Be local: The concept of glocalization has really worked for brands like McDonald’s and Lay’s. Even in this case, it can be used to benefit your business. Target people who are within your reach and will benefit from your product or service. For instance, if you’re a retail chain, talk about trends in your local area of the area you cater to. That would make a difference. 6. Use an effective Twitter handle and image: The Twitter handle (username) and image makes a difference. Be specific and clear so customers can directly identify with your business/product/service. When it comes to advertising, Twitter has a couple of features that help in marketing and lead generation. Try Promoted Tweets, Promoted Trends, and Promoted Accounts."4 Tips To Create Landing Pages That Deliver Results

A Google+ Local profile you can be proud of: 4 step process
"Here are the various options available to you, if you want to rank high on Google: Google Places: It has a pretty neat interface (much neater than Google Plus). If you are a business catering to a local audience (aiming to appear in Local Listings), and Posting as a Business is not very important to you, then you can go for this. If your business is verified, Google would eventually upgrade your account to a Google Plus Local account. Google Plus Local: If you want to appear in Local Listings (address is important for your business), and you want to post socially as a business and engage with your followers, Google Plus Local is what you want. Now, if you already have a local listing (Google Places), and you create and verify your Local Business (from Google Plus Local page), the listings get merged with the Page, thus enabling the functionalities of both Places and Local. Google is also auto-upgrading some verified Google Places accounts to Google Local Pages; if it doesn’t happen for you automatically, and you have a verified business, you might see the upgrade option in your dashboard. Google Plus: If your business address and locations are not very important to you, and social interaction is your main aim, Google Plus Page (other than Local) is the way to go.
