Small businesses may not have social media or a website, but they can manage their listing on Google Maps and Google Business Listings, which include contact information, hours of operations, product and service offerings, images, and more.  More importantly, claiming your business listing gives you control of the accuracy of a listing that may have already been automatically created.

Google Maps - https://www.google.com/maps - Search for your business.  If it comes up, and the listing is not claimed, there will be a link at the left of the screen that says "Claim this business."

Google Business Profile - https://www.google.com/intl/en_us/business/ - Follow the prompts to get listed on Google.

Social media is another great way to help people find your business, and to help provide clear and accurate information about your location, contact info, products and services, and more.  Regular posts on a platform like Facebook tell potential visitors that your business is open and active.
