EXPAND your on-line Presence so Searches can FIND you!

To be found you need to be seen. REALLY TRUE on the internet where finding information about you and your business definitely falls into the "needle in a haystack" scenario.

So how do you increase the size of your "digital footprint" to improve your chances of being seen? Here are just a few suggestions:
  1. PLEASE-PLEASE claim your "Google My Business" account. Since Google still commands the majority of searches, claiming and updating the information about your business is imperative to maximizing your exposure on this platform.
  2. Expand your listings on other search engines and directories. There are dozens of places where you can list you information to increase the likelihood that searches will display your information. Besides Google, there is Bing, Yahoo, and social media platforms to consider.
  3. Correct the misinformation about your business. Some of these search engines and directories have garnered your information and posted what it found. Unfortunately, often this information may be incorrect if you move, change a phone number, or even may be incorrect from the start. Also, anyone can "suggest" a change which means your business can get shanghaied by your competition!
To accomplish all this can take hours and hours to login, claim and update all the information.

GOOD NEWS! We can provide your business a "Digital Dashboard" that will allow you to update your information simultaneously in over 70 search engines and directories including:

  • Your business categories
  • Your business hours
  • Menus for restaurants
  • Special events
  • Photos & videos
  • Staff bios
  • and SO MUCH MORE
Now you can have an easy, affordable way to manage and update much of the content about your business throughout the internet. Never have we seen a tool that allows you to claim and manage your BUSINESS BRAND on the largest marketing platform available: the World Wide Web! And the investment starts at only $197.
