Ohio SBA Offers Free Classes

Have a question about running your business here in Ohio?

FEED YOUR BRAIN.

The SBA has updated it’s online training program.  I highly recommend you check out this great resource for business learning.  In addition to great online information, The Columbus Ohio Office of the Small Business Association  is offering a free 9 month Resource Training Seminar Series.

Each individual seminar is designed to enhance the setup and /or growth of your small business concern. Mark your calendar and plan to attend these informative and very exciting small business seminars. “You Owe Your Business, Every Opportunity For Its Success”

The first seminar is over, but there are still 8 more you can attend.

To register on-line at www.sba.gov/oh/columbus. (Look under “Spotlight” on the left side in the white area.).

In the on-line Technology 101  class they discuss business websites, Web 2.0  and Social Media.  They point out that your website cost should not be higher than the value the website can bring to your business.  I couldn’t agree more.

That’s why I started WEBORTUNITY, to help small business owners here in Sunbury Ohio  have an up to date website without breaking the bank.

Find out if we can build a website to help grow your business.  Call 800-339-4528

Google Helps Local Business

Having your local business  listed in Google Maps just became more important than ever.

WHY?
Try searching on Google right now for Pizza. Not Pizza Sunbury or Pizza Delaware just Pizza.
See the pizza shops close to you listed with the map on the  first page.

How did they do that? Google is using the location of your ISP ( internet service provider) as your city location and then providing you with local business results for your search.

This new feature has potential to greatly increase exposure to local business.
Your business can be listed with Google Maps even if you don’t have a website yet.
The listing will provide local searchers with your business name, address, phone number and
even coupons if you wish.

If you are not listed in Google Maps, and don’t know how to do it yourself, I can help.

Call 800-339-4528,  I can set up your listing in about 20 minutes.
