Some Preparation Tips

With my breakout session, I aim to inspire you to learn something to help you grow and advance your business. That said, at the start of my session I will be asking the audience to rate their business on a scale 1 - to - 10. The idea being, by the end of my session hopefully everyone in the room will be able to walk away with an improved score as a results of some tools, tips or ideas that will help them improve their website to attract more customers from Google search.

Here are the 3 ratings I'd like the audience to answer:
