LOCAL INSIGHT
Bangor businesses are searched for from across eastern and northern Maine
Bangor has about 33,000 residents, yet the Bangor Region Chamber of Commerce calls it the commercial and cultural center for eastern and northern Maine, with more than 300 businesses in its commercial base. The municipal Bass Park Complex alone draws about 100,000 visitors a year to fairs, conventions and concerts. A Bangor business is being searched for by people who live well outside the city limits and plan the drive in advance. Its site and Google listing should state hours, location and services clearly.
Health care carries much of the local payroll. A Bangor Daily News analysis found that in 2017 about $4.50 of every $10 in Bangor wages came from health care or social assistance jobs, a share that only Waterville topped in Maine. The University of Maine campus in Orono adds roughly 12,500 students to the region. Hospital staff, students and out of town visitors look up lunch spots, repairs and places to stay from their phones. Businesses with fast mobile pages and correct listings get those first visits.
Rankwyre builds websites and sets up Google Maps and local listings for businesses in Bangor, Brewer, Orono and Hampden. Event nights at the Cross Insurance Center and Waterfront Concerts send crowds looking for dinner and parking nearby, and a restaurant or hotel that shows up with accurate details gets chosen.
