Week 12 Post 1

Google+, Google Maps, Linkedin and Yelp are the four others that I believe could be important to the growth of my business. 

Google+ offers a recommendation button, which is a good rating if clicked on. Sharing your content on the web can boost your click through rate. Google circles allows you to arrange people into groups, so it is easy to market or share information.You can build personal and professional contacts

Google Maps helps your business stay competitive. When people use google maps they get several options for the services in that area. I feel seeing it on the map provides a little security. It shows business name, business hours, phone number and website. 

Having a Linkedin business page allows you to tell your company story, build your word of mouth market, share career opportunities and engage with followers. LinkedIn is rated high in the google search engine tool, so adding updates and including you website in them is very beneficial. The goal here is to create powerful content and build powerful relationships. 

Yelp is fantastic for reviews and comments. People are able to rate the service and give feedback. This can be very beneficial if you receive a good rating. However, you had better make sure your customer is satisfied, so you don’t get a bad review as those could hurt your business. 

I have created a Google+ and added myself on Google Maps as well. LinkedIn will be my next avenue and once my business builds a bit more, I may add a Yelp.
