I am teaming up with Kelly Hodsdon, of Intentional Internet, to put on a six week course for small business who want to market online to clients / costumers in their immediate geographical area.

Kelly and I discovered early on how to get top ranking results in Google Local, the listings next to the map when you search for a local service or product.   This is just one of the great benefits your going to get from this course.  We’re going to teach you what you need to do to your Website to rank highly in the search engines; we’ll show you the best places to create additional pages for FREE on other sites that will show up for your business, we’ll teach you how which social media sites are worth your time, which aren’t and how to know the difference.  We’re also going to show you how to track results.

How to know if this course is for you:

• You’re a small business
• You make money from clients or customers in your geographical area
• You have a limited marketing budget
• You have a limited amount of time for marketing
• You need a more prominent web presence
