What's This All About?
We all know that the days of letting "your fingers do the walking through the yellow pages" are gone, replaced by "let my favorite search engine find exactly what I'm looking for in my location". For small communities like Westlock doing such a search will most often give results in the nearest city, Edmonton (or possibly St. Albert, Sherwood Park, Fort Saskatchewan etc). The reason for that is simple. Most small town businesses are not listed in the Google search engine. They may be listed in other smaller search engines (that nobody uses). Today, many local consumers are actually going to Facebook to find products and services in their community!
So what happens when a consumer in Westlock, conducts a search, either on Google or on Facebook, for a specific product or service, and gets results in St. Albert or Edmonton? Very often that consumer will make the purchase in St. Albert or Edmonton. Now, if they found their item located in Westlock, they would most likely very happily make their puchase locally. It is our goal to have every business in Westlock listed here on this page. That listing can link out to their own Facebook Page or their website.
