Local Listings via Facebook?


If you have a service or retail business with a brick and mortar location, you KNOW (or should know) the value of making sure your NAP (Name, Address, Phone Number) are all over the map in the online listing services.

Yelp, Yahoo, Google, Bing, Merchant Circle, YP.com... the list is growing on a daily basis. Powerhouse Facebook is now entering the ring with www.facebook.com/services.

Why this actual might mean something is that it is a lot easier to garner reviews and comments that boost this rating via your friends, family, etc than it is to deal with Yelpers, etc.

If nothing else, this is a good reminder that you should take control of your listing on Facebook (and all the other services) while you can.

If you need a little help in this regard, let me know!

New Life

  It's weird, sad and slightly freeing. I've been headed towards a completely different life for a lot longer than I even knew. It took me a while to catch up to realize it was happening.  Thankfully, I was cognizant enough to see it finally and mostly ready for it. It's amazing when you have the rug completely pulled out from underneath you. The adjustments are jarring.  I made mistakes, but like most I learned from them, adapted, and tried my best to do better. The reason you see that truck next to a storage place? That's the sum of my life right now.  Never take for granted that you will work hard for something or someone, and it will end up meaning very little. You are guaranteed nothing, owed nothing, promised nothing. Anything and everything can be taken away in a heartbeat.  I wrote this to my kids a while back: I tried to be the best father I could be based on what I knew when I knew it and how I could. One of the lessons for your life needs to be: you n...
