Your business is online – but how do

you keep control?

5 Years AgoYou controlled your advertising. You

controlled what was written about you and

where you were listed.

TodayYou are listed in 100s of places, people are

talking about you and you have little control

over this.

TomorrowAs a business owner you will embrace this

feedback and control it through engaging

online with your customers.

Step 1 :

of errors. Address, phone numbers, web addresses etc.

This information is essential if you want customers to find

you. Google also loves consistent information about your

business.

Step 2 :

Update all the sites to ensure you are making

the most of your free listings

How long does this take?

Finding the correct sites to be listed on can take a long time

and includes many factors:and includes many factors:

- Can I update my details on this site?

- Is it going to help my web presence?

Once you have decided you want to add yourself, it can take

anywhere from 20 – 60 minutes to complete your profile.

You may have to do this for up to 20 profiles.
