Yelp: Be Found Every Day!
(Oakland)
A two hour workshop introducing Yelp, an online marketing platform where millions of people can find, review, refer, and decide to do business with you every day!
Millions of people turn to Yelp every day to make purchasing decisions!
If you are in business or about to be, chances are you need to create awareness of your presence in the community, and then increase your client base, and retain your most loyal customers.
Today, most purchasing decisions are based on reviews from others, found online, or by speaking to a friend!
In this two hour workshop learn how Yelp.com, a crowd-sourced local business review and social networking site can ease those tasks for you, increase your sales, and build a following.
We will cover:
- A description of what Yelp is
- The benefits a Yelp page presence can bring to your small business
- Tool for you
- How you can improve your rating
- How to reply to bad or good review
- A practical exercise
- And a Q/A session
Please Claim Your Business Before the Workshop!
