If you are a business owner, or are responsible for the communications and messaging of your organization - I strongly urge you to log into your website, and add a message on your home page, to update your business hours, plans for remote work, or other plans you are making for your company over the next two weeks to month.

Watch this webinar, our moderator Tom Ossa of RocklandWeb detailed the 5 tools for remote teams to be able to collaborate on their work, and remain productive all the way throughout these interesting times.

We've decided to do another free webinar!

Our annual free 1-hour online webinar is live on YouTube - and in this blog post now! Learn how to make search engines work for your local business.

 

As you may have read from the two past blog posts, I have been re-reading the late Dr. Barbara Plasker's book, "Simple Ways to Transform Your Life". You can read part 1 and part 2 of my series on Dr. Barbara Plasker, and her book on our RocklandWeb blog.

Are you devoting too much time to something in your business or life, and are beginning to feel drained? Here is a Simple Way to Transform Your Life.

There is no way to write this to the level of condolence that this wonderful woman deserves. But, here goes.

In part II of this blog series: "Finding the right people to help you", I follow up on my blog post from last week, "What Makes You Think You Know Better?" - And asked myself the same question. My findings were interesting. (Hint: Sometimes I don't! =)

This is part I of a blog series: "Finding the right people to help you". This post will sound very obnoxious and arrogant, but please bear with me. I'm saying this all for a good reason, and one that might help you, as you develop out the things that you need to develop for your business - be it web or traditional.

The number one thing you should be doing after you launch your website...is WRITE. Write, write write write write! Why? Because 40% or more of your search engine rankings tie directly into your content (text, images, media) of your website, your blog posts, and your general writings across multiple web platforms! 95% of people that own a website (personal or business) do NOT blog. They are shooting themselves in the toe. Devote 30 minutes a week to writing a blog post, and placing on your website, as well as your Google Business listing.

Does your web marketing suck? If you answered yes, here's a webinar you should listen to! Learn the tried and true techniques that we at RocklandWeb have used for over 12 years, to build the brands of businesses in NY, NJ, and across the greater Hudson Valley!

Do you want to be right, or do you want to be rich?

Here's a case for first being right.

After serving the Hudson Valley for over 10 years, we realized that we can truly transform business. The result is a complete rebrand of Rockland Web Design. We are now RocklandWeb.

Every year since 2013, we host a State of the Web Address, as an announcement, as a play on words, as an in-person workshop, but most importantly - as a message to you. Learn more about the Jan 9th, 2019 event here.

We always encourage each to use Google My Business to gather qualified reviews from their customers, in order to start off with a great first impression for people that use search as their primary method for finding...anything. Here's an example of a company that has done it. So you have no excuse.

Pancake Factory opens today. I've been here since 7 am. If you go to visit, please make sure you tell them you are from the North Rockland Community Facebook Group! Let's give a warm welcome to this new business!
