Get your business included in a local "best of" list or award

weeks to months, often annual cyclesImpact: highEffort: medium

Getting included in a local "best of" list or award is formal, independent local recognition — a real credential distinct from a general directory listing.

A genuine local award or "best of" recognition is difficult to fake and carries real weight with local customers.

How to do it

  1. 1
    Identify genuine local awards or "best of" competitions
    Ones with real local credibility and judging.
  2. 2
    Track submission deadlines
    Most run on annual cycles with specific windows.
  3. 3
    Submit a genuinely strong entry
    Real local results and community connection.
