As you may know, I’m a Technology Advisor at the Silicon Valley SBDC TAP program. TAP serves the SBDC offices for the Northern California Region. Over the last 2-3 years, I’ve completed 70+ web audits for SBDC clients. Business and Technology advising services are free to SBDC clients!
A Web Site Audit is a strategic review of your company’s Web Site to ensure that it supports your company’s marketing and/or e-commerce activities.
TAP has recently added a new package called a Social Networking Strategy Review.
The Social Networking Strategy Review is a strategic review of your company’s use of Social Media for these most popular Social Media platforms:
- LinkedIn
- Facebook
- Twitter
- Blogging
The Social Networking Strategy Review will result in a written report that contains a review of your current LinkedIn, Facebook, Twitter, and blogging online presence, and will include recommendations and tips for improvement. The report will also contain general information on Best Practices, and for those who don’t already have accounts, detailed instructions on how to set up your accounts so you can get started.
If this sounds like something you’d be interested in, please contact your nearest SBDC office.
