7 Things to do to help your business and your town!

Get in action today helping local owned business with reviews! If you are a business owner and what more review than start giving them!!!

[   ]-  Signup for Google+ (with a personal gmail if possible), add a photo and some “business casual” info about you. Signup for Yelp with the same gmail.

[   ]- Start reviewing a local business found on maps.google.com and/or Yelp twice a month. Add photos of possible.

[   ] – Get your own business on the Maps: Google Places for Business and Yelp to start!
               google.com/mybusiness – Yelp.com

[   ] – Send happy customers to your review pages or just let them know you would welcome reviews on-line. Just ask them when they express how much they love your place do not "try to get them to review".  The review sites are looking for "gamed" or "incentivised" review and it can hurt you. 

[   ] – Once a week interact with other local businesses on Facebook as your own local business.

[   ] – Check your directory listing once or twice a month and respond to reviews.

[   ]- Use the Hashtage on social media #ShopLocal and/or #BuyLocal and/or #ReviewLocal with relevant post on Social Media letting your friends know you just reviewed a local owned business.
