Why SMBs Must Have a Google My Business Page

by

googlemybusiness

Thanks to the Internet, today’s buyers are much more equipped with knowledge and resources than any other group that have come before them when it comes to making a purchase decision. Google plays a large role in this, with 70 percent of consumers resorting to online searches before buying products and services.

Naturally, you want your business to appear at the top of search results when someone types the products or services that you sell into a search query. One of the most effective ways to accomplish this is to create a Google My Business page, which is free to set up and will provide additional information about your business than the usual Google listing.

For example, when a consumer uses Google to search for your business, in addition to your Google listing, he or she will also find key information such as your address, hours of operation, phone number, pictures of your business, and customer reviews (assuming that you have created a Google My Business page!).

Builds Credibility

From a buyer’s perspective, your business is considered to be more credible when they can read reviews and see what others are saying about your business. While a Google My Business page allows for customers to write reviews and make inquiries, and it also allows your business to respond. This makes a Google My Business page a helpful tool for managing your reputation.

Increases Awareness

By having the ability to upload pictures of your place of business and products offered on your Google My Business page, you are offering another source of validation to consumers that your business is credible. In fact, Google My Business pages that include images receive 42 percent more requests and 35 percent more website traffic than those that don’t.

Offers Valuable Analytics

A Google My Business page also offers businesses access to a number of valuable analytics, such as how customers searched and found your website, and where they came from. You can also easily track how many calls came from your direct-listed phone number on Google Search and Maps.

As you can see, there are a number of benefits that a Google My Business page can offer to your business. By not taking advantage of this free tool, you aren’t able to effectively target potential customers where they primarily do their research – online. Don’t risk losing business to your competitors and create a Google My Business page today!

Stop Data Breaches: Secure Your MFP

by

ads-s_mfpsecurity

Almost daily there is another story in the paper or on the news about a major data breach. The latest was the rarely used websiteMySpace. Even though the site has fallen out of favor, it still contains volumes of data useful to cyber criminals. If there can be one benefit from all of this publicity these breaches receive is that it has made us all aware of the importance a keeping vigilant and securing our data.

Today, many offices often have a hidden unlocked door directly into their network, their harmless looking multifunction printer. These devices are much more than just printers. They are sophisticated network devices offering web servers, hard drives, and cloud access. Functioning just like any other computer on your network, your MFP is vulnerable to attack.

You need to secure your printers to make sure your data stays safe. Here are several areas to consider when it comes to protecting your network and critical information.

  • Secure the Device – Managing access is the first step to securing against attack. First, make sure to never leave confidential information on or around the printer. This is the most common means for breach. Use a software program that requires a key code at the device to print or copy confidential files. Adopt measures like passwords or swipe cards to track access. This allows for different levels of access for each employee and provides an audit trail in the event of a problem.
  • Adopt Mobile and BYOD Protocols – As more business takes place on personal devices from the road, a whole new area of network vulnerability has opened up. Not only does your network and multifunction device need to be secure, any device that is used to access them needs the same level of security. Limit what devices can enter or leave your network and always install proper security and authentication protocols for personal devices to protect your data.
  • Secure All Drives – Your MFP’s internal drive can be a threat if not properly decommissioned. It’s vulnerable not only when on duty, but even after it’s removed from service. Make sure to properly destroy any drives when the device is retired. Automaticdisc and log wiping is often included on your MFP. Use it! Also consider data encryption.

Simple proactive precautions can protect your business, your network and your data. Remember, your MFP is basically another computer on your network. Be sure to give it the same level of protection and keep your business safe.

The Benefits of MPS for Non-Profit Organizations

by

volunteer
Non-profits are often complex organizations, with a variety of departments, devices, and needs to meet. Budget cuts and staffing issues often make it difficult to balance between cost, functionality, and ease of use in the print environment. For NPOs looking to save money, Managed Print Services can help.

NPOs, Budgets, and Printing

One of the driving factors for an NPO is the strict budget it must maintain. Funding is often in short supply, and can change at any time.

Non-profits are tasked with producing internal documents, public documents, and other materials on a regular basis. Information must be kept private, often with a limited staff to oversee security. Budget constraints often prohibit the purchasing of newer equipment, reducing efficiency and causing an increase in maintenance costs that many NPOs can ill-afford.

Managed Print Services for the NPO

Managed Print Services (MPS) can offer a variety of solutions for non-profits. Your MPS provider can:

  • Analyze and reconfigure your print environment for maximum efficiency and lowest cost.
  • Provide a predictable printing budget.
  • Service and maintain your printers.
  • Provide a single point of contact for all printing issues.
  • Digitize documents for increased security and improved efficiency.
On average, the changes an MPS provider can make to your print environment can save as much as 30% on your printing costs. At the same time, they make these costs predictable to better work within your limited budget. Operations will become more user-friendly as well as more efficient, improving your overall workflow.

Managed Print Services can help a non-profit organization in a variety of ways. With all the challenges you face, let a Managed Print Services provider take the burden of the print environment off your shoulders. Contact us today to find out if you qualify for our exclusive Managed Print Services program for non-profits.
