Event Details
Learn How To Advertise Your Business
On Google For Free
The Internet Marketing Association of Hawaii is hosting a 90 minute workshop for Oahu business owners who want to learn how to advertise their business on Google for free. If you own a business that sells to people living on Oahu or people who come to Oahu, you will profit from this amazing Internet marketing technique known as Local Search Marketing.
According to Bob Sommers, the president of the Internet Marketing Association of Hawaii, Local Search Marketing is much more effective than social networking for local businesses, and it's free.
Here's how it works.
Go to Google and do a search for the product or service you sell. If you see a map show up in the search results, this program is for you. We will show you ...
- How to get your business to show up on the map.
- How to get your business to show up at the top of the search results on the map page.
- How to make your business the most compelling listing on the map.
- How to easily build your reputation through positive customer reviews.
- How to get your business to show up on all the sites where your customers are looking for you.
- Best of all, you do not need a website for this technique to work
Here are a few examples of what business owners in Hawaii have had to say about this program.
Uptown Automotive - Maui, HI
Dave Schelfe, owner of Uptown Automotive on Maui knows the value of Google Maps. Last year he claimed and optimized his business listing on Google while dropping his $6000/year Yellow Page listing.
Result: Dave gave away $20,000 in discounts to his new customers from his free Google listing while saving $6,000 in Yellow Page ads. Think how much money he had to earn to give away $20,000 in discounts.
Recording Studio - Maui HI
Grace Recording Studio averages 5 new customers a month. When you consider the fact that we earn between $200 and $16,000 per project from the customers who hire us off the Internet, you can see what a no-brainer it was for me to get my business listed on Google, Yahoo and Bing.
Grace Recording Studio was even hired to record the music for the new Jennifer Aniston and Adam Sandler movie that was just shot on Maui from our free listing on the Internet. Your Local Search Marketing Program Rocks!
What's the Hook? Why are you Teaching this Class for Free?
Here's what we know. About 70% of the business owners in Hawaii who attend our programs are do-it-yourselfers. All they want is for an expert to guide them in the right direction, and that's exactly what we'll do in this program.
The other 30% of the business owners don't have the time or desire to do the work themselves. They're looking for an expert to help them get the job done quickly. The people who teach these programs know that they have an opportunity to demonstrate their expertise in front of the people who are looking for help. And that's why they do it.
There is no selling allowed at Internet Marketing Association meetings. This program is 90 minutes of pure How-To content designed for the do-it-yourselfer. We will show you step-by-step what you need to do to get your business listed on the front page of Google, Yahoo, Bing and a dozen other popular sites so you can get started as soon as you return to work.
