Last Friday John Harper, from www.harpermees.com, explained how blogging can help drive traffic to a company’s website. Grant Stubblefield, from Community Marketing Group, offered to explain how the blogging process works to the chamber board:
“Basically each time you create a blog you create a new page. Each page will have content from all sorts in which people will be able to find simply by searching on search engines. It’s not much different than searching for shops in Moraga and having ‘Shop Moraga First’ come up. The blog gives the chamber (and SMF) more draw from the community and it’s search results.” The chamber has decided to start a blog and Community Marketing Group will assist them in setting up this blog.
It is crucial for all businesses to have some kind of web presence. Whether it is a listing on local search engines such as www.shopmoragafirst.com, Google’s Local Business Center, or Yahoo!, it is important to get your information out there. The following was our synopsis of Friday’s meeting:
