Can you even imagine the web without Google? It's a dominant force in our everyday online lives and using Google tools can help you immensely with your online presence. They offer a wide range of apps and services that increase productivity, too. And, did I mention that most of these tools are free to the general public?
Here's a list of some of the free tools you can get to help with your productivity and online dominance:
- Google Analytics - If you haven't already set up your website(s) on Google Analytics, you're missing a great opportunity to see what is working and what isn't on your sites. You'll be able to run overview reports showing how many visitors you've had during a specific period of time, where they're coming from, their page engagement, bounce rate and a lot more.
- Google Apps - Google offers a large selection of apps for businesses. Google apps are more than just Gmail and the Google Calendar. Google also offers Google Drive for storing your file in the cloud, Google Docs which allows you to create and share documents in real time.
- Quick Office - This Google app lets create and edit WORD docs, Excel and PowerPoint slides from your handheld device. Getting immediate access to your documents on your Android, iPad or iPhone frees you from having to be sitting at your PC.
- Google+ Profile - Assuming you already have a Google + account, complete your profile with your contact information, photos and information about your real estate business. Create links back to your website as well as the sites you are a contributor on such as Active Rain and your blog.
