7 Common Small Business Marketing Issues (and How to Fix Them)
Running a small business isn’t easy—and you’re not alone if you’ve ever Googled something like:
- “Why isn’t my website getting traffic?”
- “How do I stand out online?”
- “How do I market my business on a budget?”
- “Why is my brand inconsistent?”
- “What tech tools do I really need?”
At Business Design Innovations, we talk to small business owners every day who are overwhelmed, burnt out, or just stuck. The good news? These challenges are fixable—with the right strategy and support.
1. “My website doesn’t get leads.”
The Problem:
You’ve got a website, but it’s not bringing in new clients. Visitors come and go—no calls, no sales. The Fix:
You need a site that’s built to convert, not just look good. That means:
- Clear call-to-actions
- Mobile responsiveness
- Local SEO optimization
- Fast load times
We design websites that are visually engaging and strategically built to generate results.
2. “My brand doesn’t feel professional.”
The Problem:
Your visuals feel outdated or mismatched. Maybe your logo, colors, or messaging don’t reflect your values anymore.
The Fix:
A strong brand = trust. We help businesses define their identity and develop cohesive brand systems—logo, fonts, color palette, voice, and vibe.
A refresh could be the key to attracting higher-paying clients.
3. “I have no time for marketing.”
The Problem:
Between running your business and managing clients, marketing always falls to the bottom of the to-do list.
The Fix:
You don’t need to do everything—you just need a simple, repeatable system. We help you set up content calendars, repurpose posts, and use tools like AI to create content fast.
Our marketing plans save time and boost your visibility.
4. “I don’t know how to get found online.”
The Problem:
You’ve heard of SEO, but you’re not sure what to do with it—and social media feels like a full-time job.
The Fix:
We optimize your Google Business Profile, website, and content so you show up in local searches. No guesswork—just practical visibility.
Let your future customers find you, not the other way around.
5. “Tech issues slow me down.”
The Problem:
From WordPress glitches to email issues to broken links, tech stuff can eat up hours you don’t have.
The Fix:
We become your go-to Tech BFF—handling updates, troubleshooting, and integrations so you can get back to business.
Peace of mind is just a call away.
6. “I don’t know what tools I really need.”
The Problem:
There are too many tools—email platforms, CRMs, AI writing tools, schedulers. Which ones matter?
The Fix:
We recommend and set up only what you actually need—no fluff, no shiny object syndrome. From AI chatbots to project management tools, we get you streamlined.
Less chaos, more clarity.
7. “I feel overwhelmed and stuck.”
The Problem:
You’re doing everything yourself and don’t know where to start when it comes to growth.
The Fix:
