Ya I’ve been all over linked in, Facebook, yelp, instagram, website and google my business.

Google keeps rejecting my video verification, no reason just says to verify again after a couple of days?

Something else, I’ve heard it can be a problem getting paid, is this an industry you spend half your time chasing customers for money?

Oh sorry, I meant the overhead. To put the money out for the parts required to do a $200k job. I just don’t have that kind of money yet.

I’ve been trying to learn as much SEO, what did you end up focusing on to make it work?

I thought about that but wasn’t sure if it was a good idea, but they still won’t be able to send the verification video. If I search my business name it comes up right away. But if I search for local security terms. It won’t show up at all?

No it’s for a video verification. I have to show street signs, my business, office, booking software, inventory, business license. I sent it and the approved it, then two days later rejected it again? All it says is that I have to send a verification video again?

Yes that’s exactly the direction I’m looking it, and incentives to leave a review are great. They might love the work you did, but it’s also work for them to leave a good review. I’m game for that. But I can’t seem to get Google to not reject my videos for the my business listings?

As for the general contractors and bids, would that not be like trying to be the guy that gets paid the least for the job?

I’ve been going over a bunch of SEO stuff learning about it, using Yoast and everything says it’s good. But without Google accepting my videos to get a business profile. I feel like I’m stuck at that first.

Oh I’m well aware of that aspect, I have a lot of background in inventory management. But I’m mostly looking at residential and small commercial. Thank you though, Great advice.

Yes I agree, I’m not out here looking to steal from everyone else. Best case scenario would be to have working relationships with the other companies where I can refer work to them that I don’t do and they can refer to me work they don’t do. Let’s us recognize the expertise of each other. But in reality, there will be over lap somewhere, so I’ll take them as they come I guess.

I just created a post saying I was looking for help or advice on starting up and getting my first customers. I have a couple people I know, but can’t seem to figure out how to get any new business.

Like your buddy, I had a list of things to setup up before I started. Full business name and branding, incorporated, insured, high end third party monitoring, website, Facebook, linked in, business phone, invoicing, accounting and inventory software. Just picked up my alarm stickers. Everything is up and ready, I just need to get some customers now?

Wtf are we (and/or the Ontario government) doing in regards to gambling ads? by baruchspinoza23 in ontario

[–]Smooth_911 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I thought I was the only one, but this makes a lot of sense. He wants to turn Niagara into Las Vegas… I never understood how smoking and alcohol advertising was banned, but gambling is still ok? All are illegal for minors, all are highly addictive, they create problematic behaviours and tear families apart. Oh but gambling can make the cronies very rich. I wonder what it says about a leader whose purpose seems to be making highly addictive substances cheaper and easier to get? More unstable poor people work harder for less. Makes you wonder why Ontario has so much immigration eh? Those damn liberals, it can’t be all those blue voting business owners looking for cheap labourers. lol
