Editor's Notes

  • #2 Google and your local business - my name, owner and founder of lba, business is in my blood thanks to my father.
  • #3 Google Raise your hand if you own an iphone
  • #4 Google - examples at each Google it Web browser on computer Google maps (no more gps that needs updating) Google Ads, Search engine optimisation, GMB
  • #5 Google your business. Literally - Raise your hand if you would like me to Google your business live (if no volunteers, do caperberry cafe) Document Claim - showing example when Googling the business name
  • #6 Continue on with the previously Googled business searching its category (include location - ie. Yamba)
  • #7 Emphasise has - explain what user generated content is. Explain claiming and how you should have a gmail account. Displaying your phone number, website, opening hours, address, customer reviews, services, products, busy times, booking button and much more.
  • #8 Yamba permanent population is 6000 ish people, so that would mean 600 people a day search for local services online alone.
  • #9 Reviews - Making bad reviews good (all businesses get bad reviews at some point) Photos / video - Geotagging automatically happens on phone, information Google reads from an image / video. Not so much from digital cameras / when edited on computer or app. Data, intimidating word, but nothing to be scared of, in fact something to embrace. As this brings us to Quantify
