Business Tip:
"Google
My Business" (4)
Following on from last
month, we are looking at how to use the free listing of your
business on Google My Business. We enter via
www.google.co.za and then [1] click the "grid" icon near the top
right. Click "My Business" at top right to go into Google My
Business.
[2] Click the "Main Menu" (three bars) icon (shown near top left of the
picture below), to reveal the menu. [3] Click Photos,
the 6th menu item. As shown in the picture below, you can (should!) add
a cover photo, perhaps a video about your business, and possibly other
photos. Since we live in a visual culture, businesses with visuals get
more business!

courses. (The coupon code is
