One of my passions is to help the local small business compete online with the big guys. It’s sad to see the Mom and Pop store shoved aside by a huge corporation. I’d rather see my dollars circulate in my own town instead of lining the pockets of distant shareholders. My friend Tim Danyo and I are working on the finishing touches of our first video in a series we’re doing for to help teach local business owners everywhere how a few simple steps can really help.
Well, Google is announcing a new product of their own that I hope to put in my Internet Marketing toolkit when coaching businesses. It’s called Google Boost.
Looks to be a way to pay your way to the top of a locally oriented search, such as “Missoula Dentist”. It’s not here yet… but if you’re interested, here’s a good write up about it from some folks I trust.

Hey Andy,
We are tracking on the same wavelength! As we should. Can’t wait to release the new video series for local biz. The landscape is ever changing and many local businesses are missing out on some great online marketing opportunities. It’s challenging to keep up.
It’s good to see Google giving more power to local biz to get there message and services out in front of more eyeballs. I think this service will be good for the consumer as well because consumers need to know what businesses are offering and what shops want their business the most.
