When someone searches “pharmacy near me”, Google shows a map before any website. Being on that map is the cheapest marketing you will ever do.

Claim your Google Business Profile, choose the right category, and add real photos of the storefront so people recognise it from the street. Keep opening hours accurate, especially around Eid and hartals.

Then ask happy customers for a review, and reply to every one, good or bad. Fresh reviews and replies tell Google the business is alive.
