Your customers are going online. Can they find you?
Our two hour hands on workshop makes sure you can be found on the web
Our customers are going online. Today’s consumers – young and old – are turning to the web when looking for local businesses and services that were once listed in the phone directory or local newspaper classifieds.
Your business needs to be there for them to find you when they go looking on their computers or mobile phones. The great thing is most of these listing services are free.
Why Local Search?
The websites, search engines, iPhone applications and even GPS systems that consumers are using to find tradesmen, services, restaurants and cafes in their neighbourhoods all rely on a small number of directories run by companies like Google and News Limited to provide details of local businesses.
I already have a website
Even if you have website, an effective entry on these directories is essential – the local plumber, baker, lawn mowing service or hairdresser is finding their local search listings is vital to capturing customers in their neighbourhoods. Local listings improve the performance of your site and help it go to the top of searches in your suburb or town.
What will I learn?
During the workshop participants will develop a cost effective online local search presence along with gaining insights on some strategies to be the most popular search result for their neighbourhood.
At the end of the Web for Free workshop you’ll have full, effective listings in the Google Places, True Local and Facebook Pages services. This ensures your business is being found when customers go looking for you on the web.
