Greetings everyone,
While starting a business it can seem like a wild adventure, sometimes you can't be sure what to take with you. Another social media site is kinda the last thing you'd think you need, but it is.
Sure you can go on this adventure with only some of the tools, I mean you already have Facebook. Google isn't a social media site, with Google My Business you have control over what people see when they Google your business. They don't have to follow you, or be your friend, they just have to Google you. So on top of that free tip, here are 3 reasons you need to start using Google, My Business.
So what does that mean? Your accounts and reviews are safe, for now. But dwindling ad revenue, lack of proper search traffic and innovation with Google and Facebook are making these sites obsolete. Literal sinking ships, it's time to find a lifeboat and get to safety. Luck for you, there's already help on the way.
Google is "old" when it comes to the internet, some of his apps share this age and experience, but none have truly evolved like Maps. A fierce survivor, everyone has delightful memories of asking where your residence was, and you could see it from the sky. Then from the street. Now Maps has 3d maps and tracking. More than that Maps has been growing a new "For You" Section that personalizes local businesses and their event to the public interest. As mentioned above "For You" is superseding Yelp and the like keeping your clients Google accounts up to date with things going on around them. Maps also has a detailed comment & review. Once the public submits a review the merchant can interact with it, via My Business.
If you want to learn more, that's what people like myself are here for.
In this Complimentary 30 min lesson, I'll go over the basics of My Business with you, show you how to create your first post, how to set up Messaging so customers can message you right from Google Search and More!
"The Cloud" and apps can be intimidating to many because it truly feels like magic. It's this new force in our lives that is invisible yet drives our digital lives. It's time your cloud started pulling its weight! So what are you waiting for? Let's get to work on a Cloud that works as hard as you do!
I'm just a few key taps away!

1. 3rd Party Directories?
For years the Internet has been cluttered with "Yellow Page" like directories for EVERYTHING. Yelp, HomeAdvisor, TripAdvisor, Angie's List and more. A "Marketplace" that allows you to find what you need, or advertise your wares. What these apps won't tell you is they're no longer able to keep up and are starting to become irrelevant. Google has started limiting their visibility in results, as businesses can be ranked directly in Google listings, sites like these are pushed to the 2nd page or worse.So what does that mean? Your accounts and reviews are safe, for now. But dwindling ad revenue, lack of proper search traffic and innovation with Google and Facebook are making these sites obsolete. Literal sinking ships, it's time to find a lifeboat and get to safety. Luck for you, there's already help on the way.

3. Interactive Posting
Gone are the days of town criers, same with the one basic marketing campaigns. Google My Business now allows the public to "Follow" your Business. A feed that you can keep updated with photos, links, articles, promotions, offers and more! The basic kit of My Business has been upgraded to magnificent standards, and the best part is it's all FREE! The App, the website, all of it. Just sign up, claim your business and stating having a Cloud that works as hard as you do!Of course just signing up and filling things out isn't a guarantee. You have to learn and listen, cloud magic is as much book smarts as it is intuition and creativity! Not sure where to proceed from here?
