These reviews are distributed through a variety of review sites (such as Google Local) so other consumers can find you when they are looking for a service provider. 3) REVIEW CARDS MAXIMIZE YOUR VISIBILITY - Reviews published on on-line review sites maximize your company's visibility, credibility and SEO results. The more reviews you have, the better your results.


A Comment on the Economy• When times are bad for the economy, it can be a great time to

start a business. In fact, 16 of the 30 companies that make up the Dow industrial average were started during a recession or depression. These include Procter & Gamble, Disney, Alcoa, McDonald's, General Electric and Johnson & Johnson

• These economic times are an opportunity. Companies that make it will end up with a larger market share than when they started.

• How does one take advantage of the opportunity? By being known—how does one get known? Marketing and promotion...

• Without promotion something terrible happens...nothing! ---PT Barnum
