Three ideas for Bakersfield businesses
Auto, tire and truck shops
If you work with fleets or work vehicles, show it with photos and list your services in both languages. Many people call from the road.
Farm and industrial suppliers
Show certifications and capabilities in English for the buyer, and serve the people using your product or service in Spanish.
Clinics and family services
Publish your seasonal hours and what forms of payment you accept. In farm areas, that information is what gets you chosen.
