What Can You Spare?
What Can You Spare?

Spare some change? Spare some time? Who can't remember the infamous spare a square episode of Seinfeld. I was thinking about thought of being "sparing" this morning when I used the last tiny amount of hair gel. I was already low, but today I emptied it. As it was getting low, however, I started using the gel sparingly. So it got me thinking, what else do we start to use sparingly when we get low on it? How does this apply to you as a business owner?

Time. That's the answer, the answer to just about everything under the sun when it relates to running a business. Time is often sacrificed for other things. Maybe you sacrificed some family time to stay at work, or maybe you sacrificed some business time for a 1 o'clock tee time. Either way, we never seem to have enough time in our busy lives to accomplish everything we need to do.

There are tasks and projects in your day to day that absolutely must take priority over others, such as taking care of customers needs, or even more basic items like getting that second cup of coffee to get you through the day. Other projects get left by the way side, and over time (you guessed it) it's forgotten about. That's what I want to focus on here.

Not to overuse this word here, but when is the last time you updated your website? Or maybe the last refresh of photos and key information that will attract potential customers or returning ones? If the answer is anything other than very recently, it's TIME to find a new web company.

Get Your Restaurant Menu On Google My Business

By James QUINN • 05 Feb, 2018
Do you know that the number one visited page on a restaurant website is, besides their homepage? The restaurant menu. Chances are, if you recently visited a restaurant's website, you were probably looking for their menu to whet your appetite.

Why Your Google Ranking Doesn’t Matter Anymore

By James QUINN • 13 Jul, 2017
What’s more important to you: A shiny trophy for being number one on Google or a boat load of new clients coming your way. Yes, we have said before that the number one position on Google gets 33% of the traffic for that keyword, but what do you see coming up as number one now-a-days? Local Directories come up first. Do a quick Google search for anything local business related, and the first page of results will be review sites and directories.
