Do You Have An Event You Want People To Know About?

Update: Shane Miller and I have been playing with the new Google My Business Posting Feature…. It Works!

We did have a little bit of a learning curve though….

Image size is best if you use 826×622 pixels instead of what Google says to use (720x720px).

If you need a tool that is free for creating images, try out https://Canva.com. It works great and all you need is the free version of it.

**If you want some inspiration, Google search and read the story about how Canva.com came to be…

The image to the right is of Sinclair’s Restaurant maps listing – Take a peek at what it looks like: This screen shot is from my phone – AKA – “Mobile Device”

Search “Sinclairs restaurant blue springs” – take a look at what you’ll see.

Here are the stats since yesterday:

While this may not seem like much, here’s the catch. That’s our ad in front of 200 eyeballs that we did not have to pay for in less than 24 hours…

Today I posted about a class Dr. Amie Bend offers her patients on Tuesdays and it posted live to her maps listings within 49 seconds…  (Google search: bend chiro arroyo grande)

Use this feature! It works!
