Arborsoftworx posted this story on their Facebook page on how some in the industry are concerned about the influx of "weekend cowboys" that think tree work is a great way to pick up some fast cash. Note that this story is from August 2015, but I know many arborists have to educate customers...
On #6, it wasn't so much linking away from your site as it is to bring over the content to your site in the form of periodic posts like a blog. Re-purposing content is a good way to freshen up what's on your site (keep the Google bots excited to find something new to index). And you should be...
Yes, they utilize Facebook ads, it looks like, to drive people to the online store--probably regular followers who see ads for specials first on their FB feeds and know it's time to get a deal, and they can probably target other non customers who will see ads on the side for their products. FB...
Hey Joe,
Great post about how it gets done, and highlighting all the points that have to come together to "embrace the Google". Content that has the relevant text describing what you do is key, and I know a lot of business owners (of all stripes) can get a wee bit hung up about wanting it to...
Thanks! Facebook categories are sort of a bear for when you are setting up a local business page, which is what you should choose. I could not use "virtual assistant" for mine. The ability to go into detail is usually when doing Facebook ads where you can pick target audiences by their...
Hi Brad,
Your website's got a good look. If I might suggest one thought to pass along to your website folks (Luckypig? Image of David Cameron comes into my head, crikey!!), the home page is long enough to make me wonder if you are maybe likely to benefit from a single page (or hybrid thereof)...
Typically worker's comp is calculated as a dollar sum per every $100 of payroll but you do have to have your different workers categorized (for example, if you have an office manager, that person will be a lower rate than someone who is actually doing the field service). And again, a lot will...
My understanding is that Worker's Comp rates are based on total payroll + a job classification based on injury risk as well as years in business, past accident claims, etc. Here is a site that helps you find your job classification code...
Hubspot now offers a free CRM platform that might work for a smaller operation. It comes with a little interactive tutorial on how to track your leads and contacts as well your whole history with that person/company.
Other tools that integrate with it nicely is a free Wordpress plugin called...
Hey, Matt. I think the Monkey Beaver Tree name may be too much like the Superbowl "Puppy Monkey Baby" and might be a little hard to convince customers that you're serious :LOL:
For when you get to a website for hanging your virtual shingle, a name that conveys where you are located may be...
There is not really a simple answer to that, because if you search for what you ask me, you will get a lot of guides on how to learn to code a website from scratch. Don't think that is quite what you want. The guide I hope to get done someday is more about how to determine what you need and...
