Council helps businesses gain a digital edge

Local businesses are being given the chance to boost their digital presence as Western Downs Regional Council partners with local Chambers of Commerce to deliver a series of free workshops. The How to ‘Google My Business’ workshops will take place across the region from next month, giving businesses the opportunity to learn how to improve their marketing and promotional skills. Council Spokesperson for Economic Development Donna Ashurst said the initiative would support businesses looking to gain a digital edge on their competitors. “The Western Downs is home to a wide range of vibrant and dynamic local businesses who contribute greatly to our communities and our economy,” she said. “Digital marketing can be the most cost effective and easy promotional strategy for businesses everywhere so workshops like this will help our locals to maximise vital online tools while giving our region an economic boost. “We’ve scheduled the workshops to include sessions later in the evening so it’s as convenient as possible for people to come along – and it’s completely free.” All How to ‘Google my Business’ workshops across the Western Downs are free however local business owners are encouraged to register (for catering purposes) and participants will be required to bring a laptop or smartphone. For more information or to register, visit the Western Downs Libraries website via www.westerndownslibraries.com or phone Council on 1300 COUNCIL (268 624).
