Claim it before you open. Category, town, hours, services with prices, ten real photos, and a request for a review from your very first customer. "Bakery near me" and "plumber in Mandeville" are answered from this profile. It is free and it is the single most important listing you own.
Switch to WhatsApp Business (same number, free). Set the business name, hours, address and a catalog of what you sell with prices. Add an away message for after hours and quick replies for the questions you will be asked ten times a day: price, location, how to pay.
List the business free in the Jamaica Business Directory on ezywebpro.com. It is reviewed by a person, live within a day, and it gives you a page with your name, town, description and a link — a real page Google can find before your own website exists. Businesses listed there show up when people read the guides for their industry.
All three listings live, with the same name, phone and town on each, before day 14.
List the business free in the Jamaica Business Directory the day you open — reviewed by a person, live in a day. When the first ten are paying, a turnkey website is J$35,000 to build, with the software, hosting and support on a plan from J$4,500/mo.
