You know those projects you’ve been putting off all winter? Well, now that spring is here, it’s time to tackle them. While the concept of spring cleaning stems from a Persian new year tradition meaning “shaking the house,” there’s no reason you can’t also shake things up on the business side at the same time. In fact, now is a perfect time to do a little spring cleaning on your business’s website.

Managing a company in today’s world is a full-time job. There are bills to pay, deadlines to meet, people to hire, meetings to attend—the list goes on.

The national celebration that started out in 1982 as Women’s History Week has blossomed into a monthlong event, with institutions as storied and varied as the Library of Congress, the National Park Service, the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum and the National Gallery of Art commemorating Women’s History Month. 

When Lewis Carroll’s Alice is struggling with identity issues, she refers to figuring everything out as “the great puzzle.” She’s 100% right.

But that’s how you gain and maintain a positive media presence. 

Name, Address and Phone Number (NAP) are the key components that help search engines identify a company. Consistent NAP across all web platforms is how search engines identify a business. Think of a search engine like a person; if a company doesn’t have consistent NAP across the web, it will be looked at by Google as illegitimate, directly affecting the business’s rank in local organic search results. Consistent NAP could be the key to helping your business appear in the first three results in relevant Google searches.

Here are three resolutions you can make to ensure 2020 is your best year yet.

Here at 360 PSG, we work hard to bring our clients quality content and design. We also like to play hard— which is why our annual Holiday Party was held at Lasertron!

Many business owners end up feeling a bit like Lewis Carroll's Alice—overwhelmed, unsure and perhaps even a little irritable—when it comes to branding. This is unfortunate because branding is actually all about simplifying your life. Good, unified branding creates credibility and trust. It helps showcase your company’s personality, and it generates more than customers—it generates advocates.
