When #GrowWithGoogle Came To Savannah

Last week, I hosted a coffee conversation about small business apps, but I didn’t mention the free tools available via Google. This week, I went to an event here in Savannah that showed me to all the great and easy tools to help small business owners to build their online presence.  #GrowWithGoogle was held at Service Brewing and there was about 12 “Googlers” helping Savannah entrepreneurs how to ramp up their online presence by getting a business Google verified.  You can do this by going to Get Your Business Online. The thing I like most about the new features of the Google listing that businesses can now share updates via posts. This is a way that Google could possibly compete with Facebook pages.

In addition, if your business has good reviews on Google, you can get marketing materials showcasing the reviews via Small Thanks With Google.

Nichelle Stephens and Jovan Sage

Jovan from Sage’s Larder attended the event as well. It was nice to see her and talk about her food business which is based in Brunswick, GA.

BTW, National Small Business Week starts in a few days. There are several events and webinars to support small businesses.

Couple Met on Tinder

Couple Met on Tinder

I am desperately in need of good news even if it is about strangers. Saturday, I went to Service Brewing for Georgia Beer Day, and I met this cute young couple. The guy is from Birmingham, England and the lady is from Tennessee. They met on Tinder and have been together for seven months.

Service Brewing: Local Beer Serves Savannah And Vets

Service Brewing

Service Brewing

I am picky about beer.  When I was younger I used to drink Stella Artois, Blue Moon and maybe a Pilsner Urqell but now I drink mostly craft beer and I prefer IPAs.  Craft beers tend to excel with IPAs in my opinion. IPAs are hoppier than other beer, and I like the taste. What is craft beer?  According to the CraftBeer.com, craft beer is small, independent and traditional.

The first time I went to a microbrewery was in Cincinnati.  Back in the 1990’s I would hang out at this place called Barrelhouse Brewery which was a brewery and brewpub. It was the first place where I learned how beer is made since they regularly gave brewery tours. Years later, I toured Brooklyn Brewery which is now one of the biggest craft brewers in the United States.

My third brewery tour was just a few weeks ago at Service Brewing which is craft brewery located here in Savannah. Service Brewing was founded by veteran Kevin Ryan in 2014.

“Our mission first and foremost is to make great craft beer, but we also want to give back to charities that support service”.

Not only does Service have an IPA, they brew a double IPA called Battlewagon.  Know the difference between a Pale Ale, an IPA and double (Imperial) IPA.

On Friday, I got a chance to meet the staff and take a group photo of the team.  They had raised money for a nonprofit that is focused on suicide prevention for soldiers. Service Brewing serves the community of Savannah, soldiers and veterans by its mission to serve others and to support others who serve. The beer is good, too.
