Your Facebook Business Page could never be more important. People are stuck indoors, and spending a lot of time on social media. Take to Facebook to generate quality leads!

If you don’t have a Facebook Business page, creating one takes about 5 minutes. Follow this link to start your business page.
You should be:
- Inviting all your Facebook friends to like your business page.
- Asking past clients to leave great reviews on your page.
