10 Proven Ways to Land Your First 10 Notary Clients - Even If You’re Just Getting Started!

1. Tap into Your Existing Network

Tell friends, family, and colleagues that you’re a notary! Many people need documents notarized but don’t know where to go. Send a quick text or social media post letting them know you’re available.

2. Partner with Local Businesses

Banks, real estate offices, law firms, and title companies often need notary services. Drop by with business cards and introduce yourself. Even if they have in-house notaries, they may need backup when busy.

3. Offer Mobile Notary Services

People love convenience! How you can get more clients is to advertise that you can travel to their home, office, or even a coffee shop to notarize documents.

4. Claim Your Free Google Business Profile

A free Google Business Profile puts you on the map (literally!). When people search for "notary near me," you’ll show up. Fill out your profile completely and ask happy customers to leave reviews!

5. Join Local Facebook Groups & Online Forums

Many community groups allow small business promotions.  Search for groups related to real estate, legal services, and local business networking, then share your services.

6. Attend Networking Events & Business Meetups

Small business groups, Chamber of Commerce meetings, and industry events are great places to meet potential clients. Bring business cards and be ready to talk about how you can help!

7. Get Listed on Notary Directories

Sign up for platforms like Notary Rotary, 123Notary, and Snapdocs. Many companies look for notaries on these sites.

8. Reach Out to Real Estate Agents & Loan Officers

Loan documents require notarization. Introduce yourself to local real estate professionals and offer your services.

9. Build a Simple Website (or Use Social Media as Your Website!)

A one-page website or an active social media page can make you look professional and help clients find you easily.

10. Offer a First-Time Client Discount or Referral Bonus

Encourage word-of-mouth marketing! Offer a small discount to first-time clients or a referral bonus for every new client someone sends your way.
