One year has passed, a second phase launches!

We would like to thank all of our clients, subscribers, technology partners and associates for helping make our first year a great success. We have learned a lot this year and helped many businesses move closer to their goals. We’ve also evolved quite a bit and plan to even more in year two. There’s no doubt that we wouldn’t be here without you and thank you for your interest, time and support!

Introducing Our Power 35 Package

To kick off our second year, we are excited to officially announce the launch of our new “Power 35” package. Starting now, we’re offering listings on 35 of the busiest search engines and directories on the web. With this package, our clients can gain a greater, wider web presence and increase their Google juice by 3.5 times more than previously offered.

In addition, our standard package, which traditionally consisted of 10 different search engines and directories, now includes 15 – all at the same cost! Our existing clients will be automatically upgraded to the Core 15 plan.

QuickBooks Connect Toronto

In early December we were thrilled to present at the QuickBooks Connect user conference in Toronto. We spoke about leveraging review sites for business growth and our session was lively, with a lot of questions and feedback. We came away from the event inspired, having listened to many seasoned small business advisors, and we met a lot of great people as well. If you’re receiving this newsletter for the first time after meeting at the conference, welcome aboard! Let us know if you have more feedback for us.

QuickBooks Connect Toronto, Here We Come!

The phone call came last Thursday, when @IntuitBry called with an invitation to speak  at the Intuit QuickBooks Connect conference in Toronto. The event is coming up in early December and we couldn’t be more excited to lend our expertise to the small business leaders and accountants in attendance. Intuit has asked us to share our expertise in local listing management and online review strategies.

QuickBooks Connect provides small business owners and accountants with an opportunity to learn, connect and be inspired to grow their businesses through breakout sessions and keynote presentations. Breakout sessions are led by industry experts and participants will have the chance to get real world advice and connect with peers.

10|20 Marketing’s Presentation Abstract

How to Improve the Odds of Attracting Small Business Clients Online
Where can an small business owner, be it an accounting practice, individual accountant or retailer, get the most value for their dollar online? What are some of the easy-to-use tools available to them that don’t require too much of their time? What should they know about these low-hanging fruit solutions that will help drive business to their doors, keep them relevant in a digitally changing world and help them build online relationships?

Also, we’ll examine which metrics they should look at to prove that their investment is bringing a return. This presentation will look at these challenges, provide solutions and outline which tools can be used to achieve these goals. We’ll look at Google My Business, relevant review sites, and platforms designed to drive phone calls, website visits and walk-ins to their locations, in addition to the metrics that make the effort worthwhile.

Let us know if you’re going to be there and we’ll be happy to set up some time while we’re in Toronto. QuickBooks Connect is taking place at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre December 4 – 6, 2017. Hope to see you there!
