Previously, we shared tips for generating leads via your service number. We also discussed promoting service numbers through various social media. One platform we haven’t covered yet is Foursquare. We’re dedicating a separate article to it because sharing your service number on this network can immediately yield results.

What Foursquare Is and How It Works

If you’re not familiar with Foursquare, this network is best described as a map of your immediate surroundings featuring various public venues. Shops, museums, sports centers, and hospitality venues are well-represented on Foursquare. It’s an ideal tool for people visiting a new city, whether as tourists or business travelers. Using GPS positioning, this mobile app identifies where a user is and shows which nearby places are popular.

Users can “check in” when they’re at one of these locations, allowing their Foursquare friends to see where they are (or have been). Users can also post short reviews on Foursquare or upload photos. The more visitors and reviews a business receives, the more prominently it’s promoted on the interactive map.

How to Use This Platform Smartly

You can add your business to Foursquare. If a listing for your business already exists because it was created by users, you can claim it as your own and add relevant business information. Smart businesses create special offers for Foursquare users, earning positive reviews on this social network. These attract new and returning visitors. Check out Foursquare’s business tools.

Service Numbers on Foursquare

This increasingly popular social network can bring you more customers and, therefore, higher revenue. For example, if you run a restaurant with an 0800-number for reservations, you’ll have an edge over the competition. As Foursquare continues to grow, listing your service number – especially if it’s a free number – can immediately result in more leads, clients, guests, or customers, depending on your type of business.

Let’s assume you own a restaurant. If someone unfamiliar with your area is searching for restaurants, your venue will appear as one of the options. When your service number is listed on your Foursquare profile, this person can call you immediately. If you have an 0800-number, the barrier for this visitor to make a reservation is even lower since your restaurant covers the call costs. This way, you leave other establishments in your area behind.

As you can see, there are many advantages to using a free service number in combination with Foursquare. If you don’t yet have an 0800-number, request one now. At Belfabriek, you can immediately see which numbers are still available.
