That's one way. You can also search by keyword...for instance - CEO. It's hard to believe most people haven't heard of Twitter since the news stations and many businesses are now mentioning it on their broadcasts. Each time you post on Twitter, be sure to use your keywords like interior designer in your city. Each tweet is indexed on Google. You're more likely to be found online by doing a tweet vs. a static website. It's also important to attach your blog to your website so you get the boost in Google for fresh content. Facebook fan pages are also indexed in Google. Those are great tools for building your web presence.
