Today's guest is Dan Uyemura, the founder of PushPress.

Dan and Nicole Aucoin recently hosted a free training for all Healthy Steps Nutrition and PushPress gym owners on how to increase their presence online.

In today's podcast, Dan and Nicole discuss simple tips to help you increase your presence online.

Nicole said, "I can tell you from personal experience, this stuff works! Google My Business gives you a report every month, and I recently got our report from the past 30-days. We had a 25% increase in clicks to our website, a 22% increase in searches, and a 5% increase in profile views from our Google My Business account.

The best part is I didn't pay $1 for any of these increases. It came from being intentional with how we leverage our website and Google My Business account."

You need to do the little things to set yourself apart in a sea of fitness and nutrition options, especially now. These changes don't happen overnight, but you will increase your presence online if you start doing them today.
