Show-Me Warbird Invitational of Missouri
by Olen Rutherford July 16, 2016The Show-Me Warbird Invitational on June 18th is sponsored by Steve Forrest. It is a fly-in to raise money for the Central Missouri Honor Flight for veterans of World War II, Korea, and Vietnam wars. Money raised is from donations. For this year, a total of $1531 was raised, which will go to the Honor Flight program. Steve and Nancy, with the help of Lyle Vasser, put on a great event and good food from the grill. Steve has one of the best grass flying fields that you'll find in the country. In attendance were 57 pilots (including myself) and over 70 Warbirds from Missouri, Indiana, Wisconsin, Illinois, Kansas, Texas, and Arkansas. I am honored to be invited to this event.

For 31 years I have resisted the idea of American citizenship, initially because when we first got here, the US was very anti the idea of dual citizenship. Having become British by registration (ie through marriage) I was understandably reluctant to put that status at risk. There was, after all, a very good chance that we would return to Europe in the near future.
That future stretched and stretched, but so did the reasons for not becoming an American. With grandparents on two other continents, we did a fair amount of traveling. Contrary to what most people in this country think, Americans are not welcomed with open arms in all countries of the world. So there was that.
Then there was a bit of bloody-mindedness. I wanted to be a teacher and went through the motions – master's degree, teachers exam, etc. But New York is one of quite a few states that do not certify non-Americans as teachers. Private schools are an option of course, but as they tend to be religious schools, this atheism thing sort of nixed that. And wanting to teach evolution.
The issue really only comes up when our green cards are due for renewal. By last time around, ten years ago, we were into the Bush years, and, you know what? I did not want to be considered from the same country as him. I did not want to talk about him as 'my' President.
I seriously think that the country peaked some time before we got here, actually some time before Reagan. I have written about the fact that from what I can see, the US is NOT the greatest country in the world. If you have not seen the first five minutes of The Newsroom (vhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BJWKccHQFOA), watch it now, then read what I had to say (post called Pride in America -before I had seen The Newsroom, I swear). There is one big difference. After his rant, Will McAvoy says "It sure used to be. We fought for moral reasons…We made war on poverty, not poor people…."
But I never saw that. And I applied for an extension/renewal. Unfortunately my new card has been lost in transit. So now what do I do? It is probably quicker to take out citizenship than to wait for a replacement green card – and I want to go to France in July to learn some French and babysit my sister's little dog.
I had this crazy idea of running for mayor of Corning as a Corporation – once I had my green card in hand! But, I've sort of given that up as they would probably deport me anyway.
Then last Sunday, the following letter appeared in The Leader:
Dems must look outside Ithaca
Thank God for Shawn Hogan and the Democratic Congressional Campaign circus. I have already been "intimately involved" with liberals. I cannot take it anymore because I have exhausted my 25-year supply of Preparation-L
Albert Einstein defined insanity as "doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result." After complete humiliation at the polls with Nate Shinagawa and Martha Robertson, please put a gunto your heads with Lesli Danks Burke (who has announced she s not running). From personal experience, I can confirm that Ithaca, NY, is truly "10 square miles surrounded by reality."
Isn't it amazing how the liberal message must always become "more centrist" at election time? With you folks running democratic politics in the district, Tom Reed will serve as long as he sees fit.
Please consider Ruth Young and Elizabeth Whitehouse. Neither is from Ithaca, but they are both truly bastions of objectivity.
Tim Forester, Campbell.
I ask again, what do I do now?

Shaler Titans 6 – Norwin Knights 1
Shaler and Norwin entered the WPIAL playoffs as two of the hotter teams in Class 6 A with the Titans winning four of their last five and the Knights winners of their last three. Shaler kept its winning ways intact, however, with a 6-1 victory Monday night at Gateway High School in a WPIAL Class 6A first round game. Norwin couldn't do much again Shaler and starting pitcher Lily Buckshaw, who scattered four hits and gave up just one run. Buckshot worked efficiently and consistently, keeping the ball down and allowing her stellar defense to go to work. Buckshaw finished with just three strikeouts but kept the Norwin hitters off balance throughout, and at one point retired nine batters in a row and had two, one, two three, innings. Conversely, Norwin's starter, Danielle Chorba, fell behind early and often against the Shaler lineup and had control issues throughout the game, walking four batters and finishing with six strikeouts. Chorba didn't get a whole lot of help from her defense, however, unlike that of Buckshaw and the Titans. Norman committed two errors, both of which led to runs from Shaler and extended innings as a result. Shaler (11-7) started the scoring with two outs in the bottom of the first with back to back singles by Lauren Miller and Lyndsey Lakatos, who finished the game 3 for 3 with a walk and 4 runs batted in from her cleanup spot. Lakatos' first-inning single put Shaler up 1-0 and the Titans would add another run in the third on an RBI single from Kara Bosilovich, which scored Miller, who walked with one out in the bottom of the third. The real backbreaker for Norwin came in the bottom of the fourth, when the Titans plated three runs, two of which came off a double from Lakatos. Trailing 5-0, Norwin scored in the top of the sixth to pull within four with two outs when Johna Karas singled home Hailee Culbertson, who walked after Buckshaw retired Leah Yoder and Victoria Shimko to start the top half of the fifth. Shaler, however, got that run back in the bottom of the sixth when a throwing error by Culbertson put Miller on first, who scored on Lakatos' fourth RBI, a double that made it 6-1 in favor of Shaler. The Titans move on to the quarterfinals and a matchup against Baldwin (12-3), the No. 2 seed in Class 6A in a game to be played Wednesday, date and time to be announced. Norwin's season ends with an 8-9 overall mark, as the Knights made the playoffs for the first time since 2014.
Latrobe Wildcats 2 – Mount Lebanon Blue Devils 1 in 9 Innings
A pitching duel between Greater Latrobe's Kiley Myers and Mount Lebanon's Catie Rogan on Monday couldn't be settled in regulation, but the Wildcats prevailed with a 2-1 walkoff victory in nine innings. Myers struck out 16 to earn the victory, while Karley Kovatch's hit plated the winning run for the No. 6 seed Greater Latrobe in the 6A first-round game at Gateway High School in Monroeville. Both offenses were held in check for the first two innings, but the Wildcats scored the game's first run in the third, aided by a Blue Devils' miscue. With one out, GL's Rebecca Tatone reached on an error, and scored on a two-out double by Sarah Blair. That was the only offense until the top of the seventh, while the No. 11 Blue Devils found life. After producing just three hits through the first six frames, Mount Lebanon opened the stanza with consecutive singles by Emily Amato and Danielle Malazio. With runners at second and third and one out, Michelle Malazio bunted a ball to third, and Makayla Munchinski feigned a throw to first, but spun and threw behind her to third, eliminated Amato, who had ventured off the bag on the play. Mount Lebanon stayed alive, though, as Danielle Malizio stole third, and then scored the tying run when a slow roller from Kate Barone went through the legs of Myers for an error. Myers averted further damage, however, and she and Rogan continued to excel. In the bottom of the ninth, Wildcats' speedster Angela DiOrio reached on an error to open the inning, and then stole second. After Munchinski was robbed by Mount Lebanon left fielder Michelle Malizio for the first out, Kovatch ripped a double off the glove of a diving Malazio to end the contest. While Myers allowed just five hits, Rogan was the tough-luck loser, surrendering only four hits. With the triumph, Greater Latrobe advances to face No. 3 Seneca Valley on Wednesday, at a time and location to be determined.

These two high-powered offenses were held in check for the first half of the game but finally came alive as Knoch would get out to a two-run lead in both the fourth and fifth inning. South Fayette would answer back again and again, but never seem to get the hit to break it wide open. South Fayette come back fell on the shoulder of two freshmen who in their first WPIAL playoff action played like veterans. Freshman pitcher Madison Potteiger took over the circle for Claire Previte in the sixth inning and shut down the Knoch hitters for the rest of the game. The other freshman Ashley Micholas hit the game winning RBI in the top of the ninth inning to give the Lions the lead once and for all.

TVGuide.com reports that Turner Classic Movies will honor legendary entertainer Danny Kaye on what would have been his 100th birthday, today, January 20th. The channel will air a 24-hour marathon of his films beginning at 6am/5c.
The line-up will include Up in Arms, Hans Christian Anderson, The Secret Life of Walter Mitty and The Court Jester. Also in the broadcast will be an episode of Kaye's Emmy-winning 1963-67 variety series The Danny Kaye Show and his 90-minute interview with Dick Cavett from 1971.
Dena Kaye, the comedian's only child who is leading a host of celebratory events in honor of her father commented, "So many people say, 'Who? What? He's dead! Who cares? There are probably three generations unaware of my father. A lot of people know White Christmas but it's been my dream to introduce them to the rest of his work. I want them to know he was the coolest!"
Among the other events honoring Kaye will be tributes at Lincoln Center, the Paley Center, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, as well as a UNICEF humanitarian award and the kick off of a Danny Kaye website by the Library of Congress.
"He was a very modest man," Dena says of her late fathr. "He'd have been much more thrilled about the recognition from UNICEF because he gave his life to the organization. He'd be pleased by the reminder that we all need to help others."
"My father and I never discussed his work, which is something I deeply regret," Dena says. "I guess I was just too young and too shy to ask about it. But, boy, I sure could tell you what he thought about his golf swing, or baseball, or his love for flying planes or his cooking. He'd much rather talk about the great hole-in-the-wall restaurants he'd discovered than talk about Danny Kaye, the performer. He was such an authentic person. Nothing phony about him. His career was just one of the many things he did well."
Danny Kaye was an actor, singer, dancer and comedian. He was inexhaustibly gifted. Best known for film performances in The Secret Life of Walter Mitty, Hans Christian Andersen, The Court Jester, and White Christmas, Kaye was equally as popular on Broadway, in productions like Lady in the Dark, and for his CBS television specials and variety hour. His one-man stage show wowed audiences in Las Vegas, New York and London, where his reception was described as "worshipful hysteria" by Life magazine.

Liverpool v Manchester United: Jonathan Wilson's Tactical Preview
Both sides are free of major injury concerns. Jordon Ibe the only Liverpool player who might conceivably have played a part who is definitely out. Mario Balotelli and Lucas Leiva could return from illness and a groin strain respectively.
United are without the suspended Jonny Evans, and their forward options are limited by the absences of Robin van Persie and James Wilson, but Marcos Rojo could be back after a groin problem.
Both sides have been in excellent form, at least in terms of results. United, for all the doubts over the style of their play, have won 13 and lost just two of their last 19 league games, while their 3-0 demolition of Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday was probably as good a performance as they've produced under Louis van Gaal.
Liverpool, who used the 3-4-2-1 formation for the first time when they lost at Old Trafford, are unbeaten in the league since, a run that's seen them take 33 points from 14 games. Although United won that game on 6 December 3-0, the scoreline makes the victory look far more comfortable than it was. Liverpool had 19 shots to United's 11 and but for some excellent goalkeeping from David De Gea – and some questionable goalkeeping from Brad Jones – it might have been a different story.
It's no coincidence that United's suddenly improved performance on Sunday came after the return of Michael Carrick. United have simply looked a better side with him in the team this season: in games when he's played more than an hour, United have picked up 2.31 points per game, as opposed to 1.63 when he hasn't been involved. The reason for that is probably that Van Gaal, throughout his career, has liked to operate with a deep-lying playmaker, whether a centre-back or a holding midfielder.
Carrick is the only player in the squad with the passing ability and reading of the game to play like that. His pass completion rate is 89.2%, as opposed to 88.5% for Chris Smalling, 85.8% for Phil Jones, 85.1% for Jonny Evans and 84.4% for Paddy McNair.
It's a point that is raised again and again, but it doesn't become any less true. The 3-4-2-1 that Liverpool play creates problems for opponents that they are not used to answering.
Brendan Rodgers faces a major decision of whether he continues to deploy Daniel Sturridge as his centre-forward, as he did in the wins over Burnley and Swansea City, or whether he accepts that he is not quite back to his best yet after his injury and prefers to use Raheem Sterling as a false nine. Either way, the mobility of Philippe Coutinho and Adam Lallana will place great strain on the back of United's midfield – Carrick will have far more defending to do than he did against Spurs – and may also prevent the full-backs getting forward for fear of Lallana or Coutinho exploiting any space behind them.
READ: Mark Jones on the maturing Jordan Henderson
Marouane Fellaini has become, to general surprise, Van Gaal's joker this season, and against Spurs became at times almost a second striker, causing Eric Dier untold problems in the first half until Nabil Bentaleb was used to pick him up after half-time.
There are two ways Liverpool could deal with Fellaini: they could either put one of their central midfielders against him, which risks severing the link between defence and attack, or they could depute one of the centre-backs to pick him up as soon as he breaks beyond the midfield line. That they play with a back three means Liverpool are probably rather better able to deal with his threat than most sides.
This is an extremely difficult game to call given how both sides have been getting results recently.
Liverpool may have been the more convincing in their performances but there were perhaps signs away at Swansea that the rhythm that has sustained them since Christmas has begun to desert them. Given they've been involved in both domestic cup competitions and the Europa League, a little fatigue perhaps wouldn't be a surprise.
United will not be as accommodating as City were and if they really have found a shape that suits their midfield, as seemed the case on Sunday, then they're probably a touch long at 3.65. As ever, though, the recommendation is for caution, and backing United +0.25 on the Asian lines at 2.05 looks sensible.

Skip to comments.Al Sharpton Utterly Failed To Attack Condi Rice Rape Jokes, Said Imus Was Worse
Posted on 05/21/2007 2:54:16 PM PDT by Laissez-faire capitalist
Brent Bozell's culture column this week deals with Opie & Anthony's sick XM shock-jock routine about raping Condoleeza Rice (and raping Laura Bush "to death.") You may not be shocked, but Al Sharpton made no attempt to express his outrage at the XM sickos in defense of this black woman, despite how this routine is so much worse than the Don Imus "ho" comment...
Rev. Al Sharpton showed up to debate May 15 on the CNN Headline News program "Showbiz Tonight." But he didn't say a single word against Opie and Anthony or one word in defense of Condi Rice. He insisted that the Imus gaffe was much more offensive...
(Excerpt) Read more at newsbusters.org ...
I wonder what would have been said by Al Sharpton if Condoleeza Rice was a Democrat and not a Republican?
What do you think would have been said by Al Sharpton if Condi Rice Was a Democrat? Anything different?
Slim Shady's fifteen minutes of fame should have ended the day Tawana Brawley admitted she was somewhat less than forthcoming.
Getting caught up in your own racism is a bear ain't it.
This is easy: Hillary wasn't trying to get Opie and Anthony off the air.
He never defended Dr. Rice when she was called Aunt Jemima either. But I'm kinda glad he didn't.
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-bloggers/1283377/posts Dr. Condoleeza Rice is Aunt Jemima
He is all for Al Sharpton. Why is it: Blacks
always griping about not getting fair shake..and they
have top echelon Blacks in the White House and not
one Black is out giving Kudos to their own people...
they just exist to put down people like Imus,etc. JK
It just proves he is totally 180 degrees out of step and makes himself more and more irrelevant whether he speaks out or shuts up. For someone who professes to be a Christian he sure acts the opposite. It shouldn't matter what a person's politics or beliefs are. If the remarks are offensive there should be objections raised. In his case he utters the same racially offensive epitaphs and it's ok but let someone else do it and he wants blood. In the case of Condeleeza Rice he feels she is free game because she thinks for herself. She doesn't let the Jesse Jacksons and Al Sharptons of the world do her thinking for her and he can't stand it so she's fair game. Talk about being a hypocrit. In the case of Laura Bush I think his hatred of the President is so deep he lets them have a free pass on that also. I was brought up to address ministers as Reverend or Pastor. But in the case of Jackson and Sharpton their actions make you wonder where they got the title (A Sears catalog) and therefore do not deserve the respect that generally is accorded men of the cloth.
"Blacks are more racist than whites."
- Larry Elder, "The Ten Things You Can't Say In America"
I do not understand why the so-called talk/news-media continue to give Sharpton the attention he craves! The guy is a racist and a bigot and is as irrelevant as little Jimmy Carter in the arena of ideas. Hannity, Beck, and O'Reilly are turned off at my house whenever Sharpton is on.
He would have been apoplectic; if only he knew what it meant.
Inaccurate and misleading.
1. It wasn't a routine
2. They didn't say it
3. A homeless BLACK man said it.
Agreed! Whenever, or, wherever he's on, I just tune him out.
And what would Al Sharpton say if he was human?
Aw come on people, Al has to make a buck too and the cash was not there for him to defend her. Also jessie jackass was also silent due to the lack of a cash offer to defend her.
Ah, but he's wrong - you CAN say that. It's just a matter of how you say it.
"As a white I have an unfair advantage in that I can recommend a person of another race for a promotion without angering co-workers of my own race."
(I actually heard that in a cultural-diversity workshop a few years ago. But note how it implicitly assigns to whites the responsibility of making amends for the racism of non-whites.)
Was he egged on by Opie & Dopie? You may want to reconsider that "inaccurate and misleading" statement of yours. BTW, do you think that Opie & Dopie had no power to cut off what the homeless black man was saying? Do you think that they should have cut him off? BTW, your capitalizing of the word black...trying to imply something? Hmmm? Please respond to this entire post of mine. Thanks.

Have you read my blog? Lots of workout tips, motivation, recipes, favorite smoothies, favorite workout clothing, tips on traveling, you name it, there are resources available to live a healthy life. In the best of times I have exercised for hours a day, in the worst of times, I have avoided my workout room and indulged in my favorite junk foods.
In a perfect world, every day would be the same routine…waking up energized, well rested. I could be efficient with my time, not get distracted by dirty dishes left in the sink after I went to bed, go straight to my water and pre-workout drink.
From there, I could be heading to the workout room before the kids are even awake for school. Let's face it, once they are up, that's a whole set of distractions helping them with eating a breakfast other than a box of sugar with milk.
Maybe that's the image of the perfect fitness blogger…which I am not.
It's a Mom's Hectic Life
Rather than being so diligent in keeping the perfect schedule, my days are more of getting out of bed about the same time the kids do, cleaning up the dirty dishes from after I went to bed, unloading the dishwasher and making breakfast. Sometime in the midst of that, I do drink my water and the pre-workout, yes, I really do put my workout clothes on first thing in hopes of getting to the workout room at 8 when everyone leaves.
Now that the 2 legged distractions are gone…the 4 legged distractions are ready for their breakfast. Not to mention, my laptop, my phone with social media and oh, look at the pile of laundry that needs to get washed.
While I'm waiting for the dogs to be ready to come back inside, I am sidetracked by planning a trip, and hello, my daughter calls to say hi.
By now, it is close to 9am and my pre-workout has worn off, my lower back is hurting and I really need to get food in the crock pot for dinner. I'm in the kitchen and inches from me in the junk cabinet are my favorite…Cheez Its. I grab them to have just a few…and a few more…and a few more.
Still in my workout clothes, thankfully I don't have that excuse or delay…I gather my water, ipad put my hair up and drag myself to the workout room.
Mama Always Said There'd Be Days Like This
Yes, I am sure we all have days that don't go exactly as they should. Where we aren't as focused and streamlined in our schedule as we could be.
Rarely will it be perfect. We do what we can, when we can and hope we progress along the way.
On the days I am not the ideal fitness guru burning an extra 1000 calories a day, getting in 14,000 steps and eating 100% clean, healthy foods, I know my body will forgive me, and I know I will continue to progress even if today isn't perfect.
After doing this for several years, I realize there are really strong workout months, and some not so strong.
My strong workout months have visuals, Why's and calendars. If you haven't discovered your why yet, you are fighting a tough battle. We love our junk food, and by nature are more lazy than active. If you don't have a strong WHY, a why stronger than the love of our old routine and old food, it will be nearly impossible to sustain a weight loss or healthy fitness level.
I work my hardest when I am in a Beachbody workout program. I have a calendar to actually put a check on every workout day. I can see the weeks laid out before me and I am pumped to finish thoroughly and strong.
Without Beachbody, I can find every excuse in the book to keep me from wandering into the workout room. Beachbody takes the thought out of deciding what workout to do, and I know there will be a motivating voice encouraging me to work hard.
Most of the workouts programs I choose are around 30 min long. I can do anything for 30 min…that's less than an episode of Grey's Anatomy.
Recalling how I feel after I have worked out is so important to the effort I make. Knowing how much more I will accomplish for the rest of the day is also motivating for me. Thirty minutes invested for 10 hours of productivity? I'll take it.
Begin With An End in Mind
Remember Stephen Covey's books?
One of his favorite motivational quotes is, "Begin with an end in mind."
We have so many wonderful ends to working out and taking care of our bodies!
Rather than hold myself to an untangible perfected fitness blogger image, I allow myself to have good days, great days and yes, bad days.
Each day, heck, each meal, is a brand new start to a healthier you!
Every single choice can be made after saying this in our head. What's the end of…
…not working out?
…drinking the green smoothie?
…eating the Cheez its?
…walking 10,000 steps?
Take the challenge, repeat with every health related choice today…begin with an end in mind and see where it takes you.
Living a Lie…or Not?
So, while I am not living a lie, I do have visions of living fitness and health in such a perfect manner that isn't usually attainable. I believe we all do that in our lives, especially as women. We hold ourselves to such a high standard, often we feel like failures when we don't hit the high mark every time.
I consider fitness my job and it's ok not to hit the high mark every time. Life is busy. We have so many other responsibilities sometimes it is difficult to fit everything in. Do what you can, do your best and be happy with that.
Efforts will pay off!

Beautiful Black Hills destination and a great deal so we can all travel this year! I have had wonderful, respectful renters so there is no cleaning fee, security deposit or fees for additional people to keep it affordable. Two bedrooms, high ceilings and wood floors in dining, kitchen and living room. A third room/office connected to the living room with a futon double bed. There is a private yard, one off street parking spot and plenty of parking on the street.
The space
"Lots of personality and charm."-quote from a previous renter.
Very clean and comfortable. Minutes from Deadwood (great dining and history), 30 minutes to Sturgis, and about an hour to Mt. Rushmore. Endless outdoor adventures out the back door.
Guest access
The entire home will be yours for your stay. There is an enclosed backyard and a shaded front porch for drinking morning coffee or watching the sun set with a cool drink. We promise to always have coffee for our guests and you are welcome to any spices, staples or condiments you may need. We know how tricky that can be when you are traveling. Mi casa es su casa (did I get that right? :)
Interaction with guests
We will be available by phone or text to answer any questions you may have.
Other things to note
We have an outdoor cat, he rarely comes inside during the summer. Don't worry he has food and water in his outside accommodations and plenty of cat pals. He is a sweetie if you want to let him in to cuddle. Please just make sure he is outdoors when you leave as he has an affinity for sharpening his claws on the furniture when no one is looking.
28 Reviews
I am easy going, clean, and respectful.... I love to travel and hope to go as far and often as finances and time allow.

Google My Business: A Guide For Small Business
(Also known as Google My Business for Small/Medium-sized Business)
What is Google My Business?
Google My Business launched in 2014 and has quickly become one of the largest business directories online with its integration in Google Search and Google Maps. Any business type can create a GMB profile to manage their business information and optimize their local SEO. Businesses that have a storefront can update their store hours, address, and contact information to provide the most accurate and up-to-date information for potential customers that search in Google.
Why is it important?
Potential customers turn to Google Search at different points in their buying cycle, whether they are looking for more broad information like "things to do in Canmore" to more specific requests like your business name. Your local business is indexed and interpreted by Google based on the information Google has. If Google has accurate, up to date information on your business it will be able to do a better job matching your business with relevant search queries.
Branded Search vs. Non-branded Search
Both are important, and GMB plays an important role in the search visibility of these 2 types of searches. Search Engine Optimization (SEO) is more complex than ranking your business on GMB alone, but by optimizing your GMB page Google will have more accurate information on your business category and association with your website to help with non-brand search.
Branded Search is your business name, and variants of your business name
Example: "Alpine Helicopters Inc"
Variant: "Alpine Canmore" "Alpine Heli" "Alpine Helicopter Tours"
Non-branded search is more broad, made up of search terms that are relevant to your business.
Examples: "Tour Operator Canmore" "Sightseeing Tours Canmore" "Things to do in Canmore"
Getting Started With Google My Business
It's best to have one Google Account to use for all of your business-related Google products. You can create one for free by registering here: https://accounts.google.com/SignUp
Once the account is created, you will have a Gmail account (ex. "firstname.lastname@example.com") for your GMB, and if your business has Google Analytics, Google AdWords, or other Google products you can use the same account to stay organized, and link them together if needed.
Now that we have a Google Account, we can check to see if a GMB page already exists for your business. Sometime GMB pages will be automatically created if Google can see other social media profiles or your business information on trusted websites.
The example below displays an unclaimed Google My Business profile from Kokanee Park Marina. By clicking the "Own this business?" text linking in the profile, you will be able to claim the page, verify it by phone or postcard, and begin updating and making changes to the page.
Note: sometimes adding "google plus" or the city to your business name in your search query may help discover your GMB knowledge panel.
If your GMB page does not exist yet, you can create a new one by starting here: https://www.google.com/business
Optimizing Your Google My Business Page
Now that we have a verified page (or pending via sent postcard) we can begin filling out the profile with useful information to improve the quality of this page. Start with the "info" tab and check to make sure all your business information is correct. Under the "photos" tab you can upload you business logo, profile and cover photo. These images are important for the less popular Google Plus, but they can also be used in your GMB profile.
Reviews can be managed from the same dashboard. If you have positive (or negative) reviews you may want to respond to them, to let everyone know your business values feedback and you're active on this page.
The Insights tab let you know how your GMB page is being used and its visibility in Google Search and Maps. Google refers to "Direct" and "Discovery" as the brand and non-brand search terms explained earlier.
Generating your Review Link
The reviews your business collects on your GMB page are powerful for social proof and building trust with potential customers. Google treats reviews as a kind of 3rd party testimonial about your business experience, so encouraging your happy customers to leave a review on your GMB is a win-win.
The best way to generate a review link for your GMB page is to find your business page in Google, and click the "reviews" linked text.
From there, click "Write a Review" and copy the URL in the address bar. This URL can then be shared in an email to your customers as a part of your follow up.
Note: your customers will need a Google (@gmail.com) Account in order to leave a review.
Example Review URL:
URL a bit long? You can run it through Google's URL shortener by pasting it here: https://goo.gl/
This is the same URL, just shortened!
Create your own short URL to make it super easy for your customers to share their experience on your GMB page. Some of our clients use this same practice in an automated email follow up or by reaching out personally to ask for a review.
Google My Business has room to grow
Businesses that see a lot of foot traffic might see the "popular times" information in the GMB knowledge panel. This feature gathers location data from smartphone users who have opted-in to Google's location services. I would expect this and other real-time information integrated with Google Search and Google My Business in the future.
If you are a franchise or if you business has 10 or more locations
Google My Business allows you to bulk verify, and organize you locations in a Business Account folder. Google will provide a spreadsheet template to collect all locations for a bulk verification submission. We have helped clients with this migration, and more information to start this process can be found here: https://support.google.com/business/answer/4490296?hl=en
Once all your locations are claimed and verified, you can assign a store code to each location and make bulk changes to the store hours, cover image, business category and more.
What is a Google My Business Store Code?
A store code in the Google My Business dashboard is only viewable from the person managing the locations (potential customers don't see this). Google encourages you to assign a store code to your page once it's verified, and it doesn't really serve a purpose other than uniquely identifying your store location for local inventory ads. Businesses with multiple locations can run Google shopping ads and have the feed refer to their Google My Business listing store codes to display local inventory information. This is pretty advanced, and most small businesses can either leave it blank or assign any label to use as their store code to replace the "missing store code" item from the dashboard (at least for now – Google might have for plans for this later).
That's all there is to it!
Google has designed Google My Business to be easily self-managed by any small business owner. This overview provides a couple practices that I haven't seen much documentation on so a blog post seems fitting. Questions? Leave em' in the comments!
