Fix these first
Rewrite your LinkedIn headline and bio to say who you help and how, such as social media and search for local businesses, with a link to a page where they can message you.
Replace general marketing posts with advice shaped for one kind of small business, so an owner reading it thinks that this is exactly their problem.
Show real work, with the client's permission, or your own marketing if you have no case studies yet, because nothing proves a marketing agency like seeing its marketing.
