Continually innovating for SMBs, rankingCoach has introduced our powerful duo: the Online Presence & Web Reputation initiative, part of the Local Marketing 2.0 series, launched in April 2023. This exciting development transforms how SMBs engage with their audience, moving beyond mere directory syncing to enable dynamic, direct interactions with customers and robust management of their digital footprint.
