What You'll Learn

Each session focuses on a specific set of tools and strategies. You will leave every session with something configured, published, or scheduled — real marketing assets for your business.

01

Google Business Profile & Local Visibility

Claim or create your Google Business Profile, optimize it with accurate categories, hours, and photos, and learn to respond to reviews. For local businesses, this single free tool can drive more traffic than paid advertising.

02

Social Media Strategy

Identify where your customers actually spend their time and create a realistic posting schedule. Set up or optimize your business profiles and schedule your first week of content before the session ends.

03

Email Marketing & Content Creation

Set up a free email marketing account, design your first template, and learn CASL-compliant list building. Then create compelling business descriptions and simple visual content using free tools like Canva.

04

Paid Ads & Measuring Results

Learn the fundamentals of Google Ads and social media advertising — budgets, targeting, and effective ad copy. Then set up a monthly reporting routine using Google Analytics to track which channels drive actual customers.

Service Providers

You offer professional services and need a steady flow of new clients. Word of mouth alone is not enough anymore.

Local Retailers
