I attended a seminar with Jody and the entire thing was fantastic. Great guy, intelligent and he knows his stuff!
Very knowledgable, friendly, and quick service! Helped with not only the pictures, but provided fantastic tips for Google Plus and Google ratings. The whole session only took a few minutes and it looks great! I would recommend this to any business who would to give the public great online access to their brick-and-mortar storefront from the comfort of their own home.
Extremely happy with how everything turned out. The staff were professional the whole way through, and took some fantastic photos. We’d highly recommend using them, and will do so again when we expand our facilities.
I hired Jody many years ago to do our interior Google 360 Degree Business View for my small restaurant. It has been a great tool for our prospective guests as well as our corporate guests to find a location. He recently trained us on how to maximise our Google listing with their business tools and his training suite and I think the training has resulted in better ROI than any other pay for use ad program that the competition offers i.e. Facebook, Yelp, TripAdvisor, Yellow Pages, etc., as there is just that much more traffic. I feel like my message is less affected by algorithms used the previously mentioned ad houses and rather putting the information to the people who are looking for it – directly. He also suggested ways to cut costs on the aforementioned ad spend, to which I am not looking back from.
Jody was fantastic! He sent appointment reminders, didn’t rush us before or during the shoots, gave great advice, took stunning photos, etc etc… We are just so pleased with the final results of our 5 locations! I would highly recommend this company.
I had the opportunity to attend one of Jody’s google workshops last week. Amazing.
Detailed information that explained everything I needed to know and walked through the process. Looking forward to attending more.
