Here are five simple and free ways to support local businesses from the comfort of your couch:

    Every like helps boost their visibility, making it easier for new customers to find them.

  2. Share Their Content
    Spread the word by sharing their posts. You never know who in your network might become their next loyal customer!

  3. Leave a Positive Comment
    A kind word goes a long way in encouraging small business owners, especially during challenging times.

  4. Tag Your Friends
    If you see a product or service your friend would love, tag them! It's a thoughtful way to connect your friends with local businesses.

  5. Post a Google Review
