Small businesses are always willing to take on new clients, but sometimes finding those clients can be a problem. Almost all of us have a website and likely some social media profiles, but are we getting business from them?

Join Manta.com CEO Pamela Springer to learn easy to implement changes that can dramatically increase how customers take action on your website and across your social media footprint.

 

Three lucky NAWBO Columbus Members* will have their website's audited live during the presentation, providing feedback that any business owner can use, including:

"I used my existing web and marketing content to post product pages on Manta. Now my company website hits the top of the search list every time and I have expanded online presence that drives traffic. It is easy and it works!"

- Kathy Warnick, Warnick Consultants
NAWBO Columbus Past President and member of the President's Assembly Steering Committee for NAWBO National
