Catch travellers before the exit
People search for food, fuel and places to stop from the highway. An accurate map listing with hours, photos and reviews is worth more than any billboard.
CLARE, MICHIGAN
Web Design, Marketing and Business Technology in Clare
Clare sits where US-127 meets US-10, and a great many people pass through on their way north. The city has turned that traffic into a lively downtown with a well-known bakery, a historic hotel and an Irish festival that fills the streets every March. For a Clare business, the opportunity is to be the reason someone takes the exit, and to keep local customers between weekends.
LOCAL PRIORITIES
What Clare businesses tend to need
Two audiences matter here: people who live nearby and people passing through.
Stay in front of local customers
Residents of Clare, Farwell and Harrison choose the same businesses repeatedly. Email, social media and community involvement keep you among them.
Make the most of event weekends
Festival crowds are a brief chance to gain followers, email subscribers and reviews that keep working once the weekend is over.
CLARE
The local market
Downtown Clare is compact, walkable and unusually busy for a city of its size, with independent retailers, restaurants and professional offices close together. Contractors, auto services and agricultural businesses operate from the edges of town and serve the wider county.
The city straddles the line between Clare and Isabella counties. Harrison lies to the north, Farwell to the west and Mount Pleasant about fifteen miles south, and many businesses here count all three among their customers.

FAQ
Questions about working with QDCD in Clare
How does QDCD work with Clare businesses?
QDCD serves Clare as part of its Mid Michigan service area. Most work is coordinated remotely, with in-person meetings and photo or video shoots arranged locally when a project calls for them.
What is the first thing a downtown Clare business should fix online?
Usually the Google Business Profile: correct hours, including holidays and festival weekends, current photos, the right categories and a habit of answering reviews. It is free, and it is what travellers see first.
Can a Clare business sell to customers who have gone home?
Yes. An online store or a simple ordering page lets visitors buy again after the trip. See our page on selling online.
