Thanks to StreetFight, I discovered some great ways for SMB to get deeper into the local community, potentially connect with local influencers, cross promote with other local businesses and even get a do follow back link and a nice citation.

Picture a Cosmetic Dentist and a Cosmetic Surgeon, doing an email cross promoting to each other's patients. Or featuring a coupon or ad on the other's site.
I just selected 1 of the 5 platforms to highlight. I pointed out a few features of a free "Alignable" business listing, but there is more above and below on the page. Including KW rich Title and H1, Google map, citation marked up in Schema, Facebook feed, etc.
I don't have the "handwidth" to research them all in this much detail, but if you have a client that could benefit from networking or cross promotion with other businesses in their community, they would be worth looking into. (Joy this is the story I was thinking about asking you to write for me.)
These are the types of links and citations that are high end, GEO targeted and could actually turn into relationships that generate revenue. PLUS these are links and citations, the local competition probably does not have!
Since I can't do any more typing or research let's make this a group project!
If you look into one in more detail, please share notable benefits.
Know of any other sites like this?
