The workshop will be conducted by Herb Lawrence, ASU SBTDC Director.
“Even if you are not using social media or have a website, people are searching the internet for information about you, your business location, your products and services. They are using smart phones, mobile phones, mobile GPS systems to locate you,” said Lawrence. “The question is, have you made it easy for them to find you? If not, your competition has.”
In this three-hour hands-on seminar, Lawrence will show attendees simple on-line tools and websites they can access that will ensure their businesses are found locally, create unique marketing messages and standout from their completion even if they don’t have a website. Get Listed Locally will show attendees how to improve their search ranking on Google, Bing and Yahoo. Both workshops are hand-on and attendees are encouraged to bring their laptop computers if they have one.
