How to Boost Your Business Visibility in Mallorca
5 Proven Strategies
Running a business in Mallorca has its own unique opportunities and challenges. With a diverse mix of locals, expats, and international visitors, competition can be fierce — but the rewards are huge if you position your business correctly.
Whether you’re a café in Palma, a boutique in Sóller, or a service provider on the island, visibility is everything. Here are five proven strategies to make sure your business stands out and reaches the right people.
1. Cement Your Online Presence
If people can’t find you, they can’t buy from you. It sounds obvious, but too many businesses still underestimate the power of being easily searchable.
Start by ensuring your business is listed on Google Business Profile — this makes you show up in local searches and on Google Maps. Encourage happy customers to leave reviews, as they build trust and boost your ranking.
Beyond Google, look at reputable online directories and larger platforms that match your niche. Being present on high-traffic sites not only drives more eyes to your business but also improves your SEO (Search Engine Optimisation). More mentions and backlinks = more authority for your website.
(Pro tip: Our In Mallorca marketing & advertising packages are designed with exactly this in mind — helping you appear where people are already searching.)
2. The Importance of Social Media
Social media isn’t just about “being online” anymore — it’s your shop window, your customer service desk, and your brand voice all rolled into one.
The key is consistency. Aim for at least two posts per week across your main channels, mixing useful, engaging content with promotional messages. Think: behind-the-scenes stories, client testimonials, local news tie-ins, and stunning visuals of your products or services.
Don’t be afraid to collaborate with bigger platforms or influencers. Reciprocal recommendations or paid-for collaborations can expose your business to entirely new audiences who already trust the platform recommending you.

3. Engage With the Community
One of Mallorca’s biggest strengths is its sense of community. People want to know who they’re supporting — so make yourself visible offline, too.
Attend local fairs, pop-ups, and networking events.
Partner with complementary businesses (a café and a local baker, for example).
Sponsor small community activities — it’s a great way to give back while building goodwill.
The more your name is seen around town, the more recognition and trust you’ll build.
4. Create Content That Works For You
Content marketing isn’t about churning out posts — it’s about creating useful assets that keep working for your business over time.
Write blog posts about your industry (great for SEO).
Record short how-to videos or tips (perfect for Instagram Reels or TikTok).
Create downloadable guides or checklists in exchange for an email address (building your mailing list).
Think of each piece of content as an employee that keeps working for you 24/7.
5. Don’t Forget Networking & Word of Mouth
In Mallorca, word of mouth is gold. Locals and expats alike tend to trust recommendations over advertisements. The more you can get people talking positively about your business, the faster you’ll grow.
That means providing excellent service, asking happy clients for referrals, and putting yourself in spaces where conversations are happening. Business clubs, professional meetups, and community events are fantastic for this.
(Hint: The In Mallorca Business Club is launching quarterly networking events designed to do just that — putting you face-to-face with other professionals and potential clients - more details to come!)
