Please sign up for the virtual training sessions (buttons above) and live Q&A event (button below) .   As we reopen for visitors, customer confidence is critical. Your Google business profile is the most highly-visible source of information about your operations. We want to help you maximize your exposure and put your best foot forward to your customers on the world’s largest travel planning platform - Google.   The instructional content on Google My Business will now be provided in two webinars next week for businesses across the state. Please register for each. Whether or not you attend the session, you will receive a recording to engage on your own schedule. Scroll down for more events...
