Mike Andes gives an update to 'Augusta Nation' about recent media team work and ongoing development of a website dashboard. He describes new dashboard features (built-in analytics so Google Analytics isn't required; easy editing of banners and service pages) and mentions exploring review-consolidation plugins after a peer's $1,200/month example.
$1,200 per month (as reported by Ryan Payne).
Good morning, Augusta Nation. Hope you're all doing super well. I apologize being late. I had a really important meeting with the media team and I'll show you some of the results of that meeting this morning. Let me see. First things first, I know I've talked about the dashboard that we're working on that you can be able to edit things on your website a little bit easier. And we keep adding to it. That's why it keeps getting somewhat delayed. I know I didn't. I never gave a date because I knew we kind of fall into this trap. And I keep adding some things to it. So, for example, we have now made it where you will not need Google Analytics to be able to see certain key data for your website. So we're working on a dashboard that is going to allow you to see where leads are coming from, where clicks are coming from in terms of like Facebook, Google, et cetera. And it just be a really easy to view website instead of like Google Analytics, which for most of you is just way overwhelming if you have made that connection. Also a place where you can add banners to your site, ask for service pages to be added or removed. So a bunch of really cool stuff we're working on. I'm expecting next month or two for us to be done and completed with that. So that is really cool. Another thing is that yesterday I'll show this to you. Ryan Payne reached out to me and shared. I'll share my screen here. One second. He shared this. And they. They pay a marketing company, he said $1,200 a month, but I'm sure there's probably other things they do for him, which basically consolidates their reviews from Google, my business and pops them into here. And so pretty cool. Looks really cool. And they have this on their website. Obviously, we can't afford $1,200 per location to be able to do this. So we're looking at several different companies because this is just a plugin that you pay for. It basically consolidates information from social media sites. So we're looking at a way to be able to do this where it could pull reviews from like Yelp, Facebook, Google, et cetera, and then they'd show on your site. So we're just. We're just trying out a few different software packages now. There wouldn't be any cost. I don't believe. I think we'll just be able to eat it at the top. And so there shouldn't be any cost to anybody, but we'll be working on that as well. So those are a couple updates from the media side of things and the website dashboard, we're working on that a lot to be able to. You can add services and subtract services really quickly. You can add banners.
