    There are hundreds of ways of advertising a business. What has seemed best so far this year for me has been Google Adwords (pretty expensive), Facebook Ads, ranking in Google, and seemingly most importantly word of mouth. I offer both my workers and customers cash incentives to refer me customers for jobs that we close and it seems to be a solid method.

    1) What method of advertising worked best for you in 2016?

    2) What do you foresee as being important for advertising in 2017?

    Thanks,
    Victor

    All methods are good

    I think that only the complex can achieve good results. SEO, SMM, Brand marketing and you must provide really high-quality services.

    SEO and SMM is my answer. I guess it's kinda cool way to promote your business.

    Now that it's 2018 what do you all use/think? Our business currently relies heavily on reputation and word-of-mouth. However, we are working very hard on our social media campaign and building our website up. Our reputation is predominately related to oilfield work, but we'd like to expand our "portfolio" into building and DOT projects.
