Why give away all these great ideas?

Good Karma mostly.

But for the most part – most of these ideas need to be done by the business owner, or at least someone physically AT the business. These directories verify listings via a phone call or SMS. We can extend, enhance and optimise these listings once they are set up, but you need to get the ball rolling for us.

Don’t feel any pressure to actually “use” things like Foursquare, Yelp and others – though users will probably have a better idea how others will use their listings. Just make sure your business is available for other users to check in and promote your business for you.

We hope these ideas will help your business online – especially for our new Dubbo friends. The more people who can succeed online, especially in regional and rural Australia, the better for everyone.

Seriously – stop reading this and go get your Google My Business page.
