When Should You Post to Social Media Channels?
When working on posts to social media channels, you always ask “when to post?” You need to time your posts to catch your prospects online and ready to engage.

Get Back to Business Using SEO to Compete in a Pandemic World
Last March the U.S. economy stopped, literally within two weeks, as the first wave of the coronavirus epidemic hit. But we all anticipated no more than a 2-3 month hiatus. After that, we expected to be on top of the situation and opening back up for business.
That didn’t happen, and during the extended shutdown people stopped spending. At first. Then unexpected bursts of activity flared up. Spending exploded online as people redirected their discretionary spending to home-based projects. Outdoor businesses like construction and roofing went back to work, as did AC repair services. Housing came back as rock-bottom interest rates proved too enticing for refinancers and home buyers. Take-out orders for simpler fare like pizza and BBQ, or budget gourmet home delivery offered by caterers, kept a number of our restaurants going (though hospitality is one industry that is truly struggling.)
How do you join them?
How do you reorganize your business to survive and thrive in a pandemic economy that may linger for another year?
What can you do NOW to make the most of pandemic spending patterns over the rest of 2020 and into 2021? Continue reading

Why Would I Choose Professional Web Design Instead of DIY?
You have multiple options for creating a website for your business. Do-it-yourself (DIY) sites and basic templates that offer limited customization can get you started affordably, although they lack powerful SEO tools (more on that below.) High-end sites, though, might break the budget before they have a chance to generate you any business. You get what you pay for in quality and effectiveness, but small businesses need to walk before they run in some cases, and need to take on manageable web development projects.
