If your business isn’t on Google, you don’t exist to the modern customer. But today, "being on Google" means more than just a pin on a map. It means being the answer when AI-powered search engines recommend the best local spots.

This workshop walks you through how to build a high-performing Google Business Profile that speaks to both humans and AI. Whether you’re a local staple or a brand-new startup, you’ll learn how to feed Google’s ecosystem the right data so you show up exactly when and where customers are looking. A practical roadmap to becoming the most "findable" business in your area.
