“Build it and they will come” doesn’t work for small business websites. Getting your business found is a key component to your success, and websites can be very helpful IF they are marketed correctly. Learn the importance of consistent imaging for your business and Search Engine Optimization (SEO).

Other Internet marketing options are also explored, including email newsletters, Google Local Search, Facebook advertising, and pay-per-click opportunities. If you have a small business website or are considering starting one, this workshop will help lead you down the path toward a top Internet ranking and more customers.

Presenter: Dr. Brian Whitacre, OSU

Partners: Durant Area Chamber of Commerce, Durant Main Street, OSU Extension, Choctaw Nation, OkSBDC, SE Center for Economic Development, Southern Workforce Board and REI Women’s Business Center
