Because being good at notarizing means nothing if no one knows you exist.

You’ve got your commission. You’ve got your supplies. You’re officially open for business. And now… nothing.

Here’s the deal: getting commissioned doesn’t automatically make your phone ring. Marketing does.

The good news? You don’t need a degree in marketing — you just need a plan. Here are actionable, budget-friendly tips to go from invisible to booked and busy.

📍 1. Claim Your Google Business Profile
If you do nothing else — do this.

Set up your free listing at google.com/business. This makes you show up in local searches like:

“notary near me”
“mobile notary [your city]”
“loan signing agent open now”
✅ Add photos, services, service area, and your phone number
✅ Ask every client for a review — this boosts your visibility instantly

🤝 2. Introduce Yourself to Title, Escrow & Real Estate Offices
Walk in like you mean business — because you are one.

✅ Create a simple flyer or postcard with your:

Name
Contact info
Services
Zip codes you serve
A QR code to your reviews or profile
Keep it short, clean, and confident. A handshake goes a long way.

💻 3. Build a Basic Website or Linktree
No need for a $3,000 website when you're starting. A simple, one-page site or Linktree can:

List your services
Share availability
Include your reviews
Let people book you or contact you directly
You need somewhere to send people when they say, “Do you have a website?”

📲 4. Get Active on Social Media

"You don’t need to go viral; you just need to be visible." - Audra Murray-Siu, The Visible Notary: Visibility By Design 

✅ Focus on Facebook and Instagram first.
✅ Post about:

What you do
Client success stories
Common notary myths
Tips for loan signings or estate documents
Behind-the-scenes of your mobile setup
People do business with people they trust. Show up as you — consistently.

🧾 5. Get on All the Major Signing Platforms
If you’re doing loan signings, you must be on:

Snapdocs
SigningOrder
Notary Dash
Closewise
NotaryRotary
123Notary
✅ Upload your credentials
✅ Use a clean, friendly headshot
✅ Respond fast to incoming texts and requests

Even one job from these platforms can lead to a steady client.

💬 6. Tell Everyone You Know
Seriously. Your network doesn’t know what you do unless you tell them.

✅ Post an announcement on your personal Facebook and LinkedIn
✅ Email friends, family, realtors, lenders, and business owners
✅ Offer to notarize their first document free — they’ll remember that

Word-of-mouth starts at home.

📈 The Work Is Out There — If You Know Where to Look
Most new notaries don’t have a marketing problem… they have an action problem. Show up consistently, be professional, and let people know what you do.

This is a relationship business — build those relationships like your business depends on it. (Because it does.)

We’re proud to offer The Visible Notary: Visibility by Design  to help you stop playing small and start being seen — because when your business gets visible, your bookings follow. At Notary Academy, we don’t just teach you how to be a notary — we help you succeed as a notary.

If you're feeling invisible, lets change that with strategic marketing that turns notaries visible and busy! 

📣 Getting booked isn’t luck. It’s visibility + credibility + action.
