WHY I MADE THIS COURSE


Small business owners usually struggle with promoting their business. The first thing people usually think of for promotion are Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, fliers and business cards to promote their businesses. Those are fine, but there are so many other marketing strategies for local businesses that are more effective. This course shows you those much more effective strategies.

In addition to the course lectures, you get my help and advice! Students are able to start discussions and message me with private questions. I answer 99% of questions within 24 hours. I love helping students who take my courses and I look forward to helping you.

    O professor é excelente, tenho um bom inglês, porém não excelente e entendi tudo o que ele explicou. É um curso para iniciantes, mas é um bom curso.

    I recently completed Alex Genadinik’s course on professional local business marketing using Google Business Profile. It was a truly valuable experience. The content is well-structured, beginner-friendly, and easy to understand. Alex explains everything clearly, making complex topics simple to follow. I found the course so helpful that I’ve added more of his courses to my learning list. Highly recommended for anyone looking to improve their local SEO skills!
