A Week in Google – 1st April

April 1, 2012 by Jan Kearney

I’m tempted to dig out my quest sheet and go off in search of my fortune! What’s happening in Google this week? Google No Longer Support XML Geo-sitemap Now, I love […]

Google Places Listing Hijacked – Why You Need To Regularly Check Your Listing

February 10, 2012 by Jan Kearney

Google Places Listing hijacked

A Google Places Listing is the easiest ways for a local business to appear at the top of search results. It’s a free service if you do it yourself, but it does need to be monitored. I talked  about changes to Google Places in October. People with a Google account can make updates to your […]

Local Business Owners: Stop Moaning and Start Marketing

November 18, 2011 by Jan Kearney

local business closed

A message to local business owners… A rather harsh title, for which I make no apologies… I read my local paper this morning (don’t die in shock, I don’t read everything online!)

Is Your Local Business Ready For The Next Web Generation?

October 27, 2011 by Jan Kearney

Facebook status

Over on Facebook yesterday, Ginny Carter commented about a network meeting she had attended.

Meet Jan Kearney

I believe that every business, no matter how small or how local can use the power of the web to gain more customers.
