It takes time, consistency and its worth it (because you would see results).

Use the following:-

What your second answerer gave you is key. Spread your link around. Also, use as many local (free) sites that you can to list your business in its appropriate category. If possible, have some people post reviews on those sites for you. If you have a facebook page for your business, do posts that include keyword search terms for your business. Think about what your customer searches for. You can also use Google Ad Words to aid you in what terms to use.
