Help Desk Hangouts: Get Your Business Online
Friday, November 2, 2012
Editor’s note:
Each week on the
Google+ Your Business page
, we’re putting you in touch with Googlers and users who can help you as a business owner get the most out of our products and features.
In our latest
Help Desk Hangout On Air
, we chatted with the Get Your Business online team. We talked about how important it is for businesses to have online presences, and the team highlighted a special promotion. U.S. businesses can set up a free website for a year with Get Your Business online with just a Google account. The team also walked us through how businesses can accelerate their online presences after making this website.
Miss the event? You can watch the whole thing on the
Google and Your Business YouTube channel
.
Check out the video description on the YouTube page for a minute-by-minute breakdown.
