Many thanks to Chris Martini of Ottico Lab for capturing the spirit of MBN in passing along this thoughts on a business connection he has developed with a fellow member.

“I thoroughly enjoyed my one-on-one session with Alison Evans from Pinpoint Local this week. The session was extremely informative and I learnt so much. Alison tailored the learning to cater exactly for my business and it’s needs. I felt in good hands with Alison providing expert SEO support and in particular – unlocking Google My Business.

I can’t thank or recommend Alison Evans and Pinpoint Local enough.  If you are a small business owner (and especially located in Melbourne Metropolitan and Manningham areas) – please reach out to Alison to get the most out of your SEO and GMB.”

We wish all MBN members and friends well as we send along this week’s announcements.
