GOOGLE IT!
GOOGLE IT!
That’s what you do when you search for something – just google it. The Google My Business app allows you to put your business where it can be found. And it is completely free. It is highly recommended if you are targeting local customers.
Google My Business (GMB) is a free tool that gives your business an online presence. The information will appear on Google Search and Maps. It allows you to include your business name, location, trading hours, monitor and reply to customer reviews, add photos, posts and events. Additional features include analytics, to see where your customers are, and a website function. The website links any posts and activity from the GMB page. Setting up a GMB page is easy, needing only a google account to log in. The only requirement for using it is that you must have some direct interaction with your customers – meaning, you can’t operate 100% online. Google

I recently created a GMB account and website for Robyn Raymond – an embroiderer and textile artist. The website feature on the GMB app provided an easy and affordable website page to showcase Robyn’s creative talents. This gives her an on line presence and is perfect for the small business owner operator. See the site at: www.robyn-raymond.business.site
