Lunch & Learn

On Monday, March 28th, 2022 The Sylvester-Worth County Chamber of Commerce hosted a Lunch & Learn: Get Your Business Online with Google Search & Maps. This class was facilitated by Rob Martin with the University of Georgia’s Small Business Development Center. This course introduced Google's free Business Profile which helps your business stand out on Google Search & Maps. The class also explored communicating how you may be doing business a little differently right now as well as the importance of keeping your listing current with all your business details.Mr. Rob showed our attendees how they could "own their own real estate online" so to speak and be the 1st to pop up in a Google search.

 

Learner Outcomes Included:

• Update your profile with current hours,

address, and phone number.

• Post photos, offers, and news directly on your Business Profile to catch attention.

• See your followers from Google Maps.

• Respond to customer reviews to build

credibility and loyalty.

• Explore Insights to see how customers

find & engage with your Business Profile.

 

This Lunch & Learn was extremely informative and successful! Special thank you to Rob Martin and the University of Georgia’s Small Business Development Center. For more information or questions about this class call them at 229-420-1144. To stay updated on future Lunch & Learns, follow our social media @swcountychamber.
