Small Business Month: Get Found Online

October is NSW Small Business Month, and this month we’re combining our regular After Hours networking with a practical workshop designed to help local businesses improve how they’re found online.

Join us at Lennox Hotel for an evening of networking, conversation and practical insights into how people are finding businesses through Google, search engines and AI tools like ChatGPT.

GET FOUND ON GOOGLE & AI

We’ll be joined by Despina Gavoyannis, an SEO and AI visibility specialist who helps businesses improve their online presence and generate more sales through search.

During the workshop, Despina will explore local search data and show how different types of businesses can become more visible when potential customers are searching for their products or services.

We’ll cover:

  • How the way people find businesses online is changing

  • What the rise of AI search means for small businesses

  • How customers are using Google, ChatGPT and other platforms to search

  • Practical opportunities to improve your local search visibility

  • Steps you can take to attract more potential customers through search and AI

The session is designed to give you practical ideas you can apply to your own business, regardless of how much you already know about SEO or AI.

WHAT WOULD YOU LIKE TO KNOW?

We want to make the workshop as relevant to our local business community as possible.

If you’re planning to attend, we’d love you to complete our short pre-event survey and tell us what you’d most like Despina to cover. Your questions and feedback will help shape the workshop around the areas local businesses want help with most.
