Location: Online (Webinar)

[Seminar Overview]

In today's smartphone-driven era, most customers search for stores via Google Maps. However, many business owners struggle with questions like, "I don't know how to rank higher on Google Maps," "I'm neglecting negative reviews," or "I don't have the time to manage my Google Business Profile." In this seminar, experts who have led numerous companies to digital marketing success will explain the 'winning patterns' for Google Maps utilization that directly lead to new customer acquisition, as well as strategies for managing reviews to build customer trust, illustrated with successful case studies.

Once you are prepared to be 'found' through MEO (Map Engine Optimization), the next step is to be 'chosen and revisited.' In fact, the smoothness of the payment process is directly linked to 'service quality' in Google Maps reviews. We will share payment strategies to ensure that the 'awareness and store visits' generated by MEO are converted into 'sales and repeat business' without loss. We propose methods that achieve both operational efficiency and improved customer satisfaction, rather than just introducing a payment tool.

・Those looking to promote DX (Digital Transformation) and operational efficiency at the register.
