Unlike many parts of the United States, Baton Rouge Louisiana is proudly home to a growing economy that is driving more people to fill the area and call the “capital city” home. According to a study released by the Baton Rouge Area Chamber (BRAC) in September of this year, 1,400 new jobs are expected to be created in 2015.
So how are local businesses in the Baton Rouge using digital technology to capitalize on this increased growth in population? We are going to move to Baton Rouge, virtually. As we take this journey, we will step into the shoes of a newcomer and take a look at some of the businesses they might find as they settle into the city.
The Snelling employment website makes it easy for newcomers to Baton Rouge to search job employment opportunities.
Matching Top Talent to Top Companies
Since we are moving to Baton Rouge for a new career, logically the first step would be to search jobs to find the opportunity we need, right? We started at Google to find a staffing company in Baton Rouge that could help us locate positions in the capital.
We came across the Snelling website that helps employers search for the best talent in the Baton Rouge. Newcomers to the city looking for employment opportunities can use this website to connect with potential employers. User-friendly tools are incorporated throughout this site which includes the use of Facebook login, the ability to quickly and easily upload a résumé, a shopping cart to save job listings, and functionality to allow job seekers to contact employers via email.
Bringing New Home Buyers to Your Website
When moving to the capital of Louisiana, we will have to search for real estate in order to find a place to live. Luckily, we came across Trey Willard, a real estate agent local to the Baton Rouge area.
The Trey Willard real estate agent website does an excellent job using powerful colors and high-resolution images on site.
His website was returned as one of the first search results on Google -undoubtedly, his efforts in search engine optimization (SEO) are paying off. The use of color combined with sharp high-quality images makes his website appealing to the eye and easy to navigate.
Everything from featured properties, to an active blog, and home listings for sale, and information on how to get in touch to sell a home was featured on his website.
Online marketing efforts are paying off for this Baton Rouge real estate agent as he sets himself up to capitalize on the growing Baton Rouge population.
Attract Car Shoppers with a Solid Online Reputation
We are going to need a new ride when we get to the city in order to get us back and forth to our new job. How can we find a dealer we can trust? We decided to search for a car dealership in Baton Rouge that knows how to rock their online reputation, and we found Ascension Auto Sales.
Ascension Auto Sales uses a White Label Reputation service that helps encourage customers to leave online reviews.
Ascension is reaching out to customers to get online feedback that is so important for local businesses to thrive and drive sales.
Looking at their website, you will notice a tab in the menu bar where you can click to review the dealership. Once you click on the link, you are taken to a landing page powered by the online review and reputation management software, Grade.us.

Let’s hit the web again to see if there are any restaurants in town that know how to get our business with their digital marketing techniques.
Reserve a table online using the easy reservation system on the Bistro Byronz website.
It didn’t take long before we found one of the Louisiana restaurant locations of Bistro Byronz.

They effectively use video marketing and story-telling techniques to let everyone know who they are, what they are about, and how they came to be.

While our real estate agent, Trey Willard works towards closing the deal on our new house, we need to find a comfortable hotel or B&B to stay at in the meantime.
Opting for the finest comfort available in Baton Rouge, just one look at the Stockade Bed and Breakfast website sold us on our choice for lodging. Their website is remarkable on many fronts.
