There are so many great events to enjoy leading up to the Big Hitch Parade for Wagon Days. One of our favorites is the annual Pancake Breakfast that supports the Papoose Club. Come by Ketchum Town Square on Saturday and Sunday from 8 to noon and enjoy a hearty breakfast of pancakes, eggs, sausages along with fruit, juice and hot coffee. See you there!
Want to learn web design?
We’ve been keeping an eye on Bent Hunt for a few years because he explains clearly what makes an effective (profitable) website. Now he offers a course. If you take it, you’ll understand the fundamental concepts that help you build sites that make your clients, and therefore YOU, money.
Once you’ve finished the course, get back in touch! We’re looking for a few good designers/developers who are on the same page.
Easy to use, free to list
I was emailed today by someone representing Thumbtack.com. She asked if we design logos and offered to send leads from people looking. Though we’re a bit overbooked a the moment I was curious and spent a few minutes setting up a listing. The site was easy to use and I have a few more steps to complete my listing, but thought I’d share. Give thumbtack.com a try and have them send your business more business.

Hi Lisa & Julie – we received our first inquiry on our new website! It was from a local 69 year old woman who wanted to know more about moving in. I emailed her back and then phoned her about our project. She said she saw our latest ad and went to the website listed in the Ad.
Good Work – we so appreciate your support & expertise.
You two are angels from heaven!

Ticketbud Nominated for Texas Social Media Awards
Ticketbud was nominated because …
We used Ticketbud for a small event and it was under $20 to sell unlimited tickets. I have never seen that pricing model before. I work in the technology and design field and thought it was one of the simplest “do-it-yourself” sites for buying tickets I’ve ever seen. I did not realize they were from Austin until I had to contact them about the 2D barcodes on their tickets, which are cool. I wanted to nominate them because I think they could help a lot Austin event organizers save money and sell tickets. Thanks.

Don’t let duplicate “Google Places” listings reduce your local rank
Why are Duplicates So Bad?
The biggest problem with duplicate listings is that they tend to spread ranking data in the form of reviews, citations, pictures, and user generated content across the different duplicate listings. So, instead of having one strong listing you end up with a couple mediocre listings that will struggle to rank.
Just recently, I had a client who had worked hard for some solid reviews and citations drop from the 7 pack because of a duplicate where a lot of data transferred to the new listing.
How to Avoid Duplicates?
I want to keep this as simple as stupidly possible. Make sure that your Business Name, Address, and Phone number (NAP) are exactly the same everywhere online. This is the golden rule of local search. The big secret to success. So, go get to work and if you are interesting in more local search talk then follow me on twitter.
