Online Presence

Online Presence is very important to your business, it can show perspective families and potential employees the validity of your program and it is a way to show the community why they would want to be a part of your program. By not having and connecting with your Google Business Page along with having a website your business could have missed opportunities and missed revenue.

I have looked to see which of the early learning programs have a website and which programs have a Google Business Page and have connected to it. I have reached out to some programs already, if your program would like information or help to create a website or to connect to your Google Business Page contact me at chixon@wspanhandle.com.
