Scorpion, the leading provider of digital marketing technology for local and multi-location service businesses, announced key findings from two surveys focused on consumer perception around how they discover and engage with marketing efforts from home services businesses and law firms. Each survey provides key insights into the customer paths of consumers and comes on the heels of Scorpion’s new brand ethos – Run Your Best Business – showing the critical need among local service-based businesses to deploy marketing that resonates.
Across both surveys, the data uncovered more awareness amongst consumers around website quality, the sentiment of online reviews, digital advertisements, and TV/streaming services– showcasing where and how local service based-businesses need to show up to reach the right audiences. These discoveries tie directly back to Scorpion’s “Run Your Best Business” approach, helping local service-based businesses get better results from their marketing efforts. Local businesses have more personal ties to their businesses and the livelihoods that come from them – Run Your Best Business is designed to give them back the mindshare they need to focus on the business and personal goals that matter most.
Working with Scorpion… we’re always amazed at how they continue to innovate, and understand our needs as a business.
