Written by Kristi Gottwalt | Jun 19, 2021 3:15:00 PM

Google is a powerful tool. Making sure your Google Business Account is properly set up will help let new families know about your school. Why would you want a Google Business Account? When users search using Google, a profile appears on the right side of the screen for the most relevant answer. The more engaging your profile is, the more likely people will click. It will also help with search engine optimization. Plus—It's free! 

Wondering how to get started?
