At the November 11 meeting, Digital Strategist Mary Wuest will present, "Is Your Digital Presence Working For or Against You?"

She will share practical insights on how your website, directories, and social media can work together to build credibility and visibility, so your online presence supports you instead of holding you back.

Mary will cover:

• Website: How clear, consistent content and technical basics create your foundation.
• Directories: Why online directories (like Google, Yelp, Apple Maps, and LinkedIn) matter as third-party validation of your business.
• Social Media: How reviews and engagement provide social proof that reinforces your credibility.
• Best Practices Meet AI: How search engines and AI interpret patterns across your digital ecosystem—reading social proof much like people do.

Mary's goal is to simplify what can feel overwhelming and give you a few actionable steps you can use right away to strengthen your digital presence.

She looks forward to helping you feel more confident about how people find and trust your business online.
