April First Friday - Creating a Compelling ‘Google My Business’ Profile
Did you know one of the most influential places in the online world is free? It’s true and it’s Google’s ‘Google My Business’ , a free, powerful tool that allows businesses to manage their online presence across Google, including Search and Maps.
The Yellow pages are long gone, newspapers are no longer the advertising giants of the world, and being found is trickier and trickier. During our First Friday meeting, we’re reviewing Google My Business pages and stepping our attendees through the ease of using - to be found, to share success stories via images, and to gather positive reviews about your business!
The power of posting photos on Google My Business…
See how easy it is to be found…
