Checked your profile listing lately? 

We often create our members’ profiles for them, but it is important for each business to take ownership of your profile and make sure it is updated and the information is correct from time to time. As we grow our members, it is harder for our small team to manage each members’ listing. We have created a list of instructions to make managing your listing simple and straightforward. Click here to access the instructions and download them for reference.  And if you need further help do not hesitate to contact Sarah or Harmony.
