Get Found Online: Google and your Digital Foundations

Get Found Online: Google + Your Digital Foundations is a practical, beginner-friendly online workshop designed to help small businesses, community groups and sole traders improve their visibility online. Led by digital marketing specalist Sam Hicks, the session breaks down what you can do to show up online with confidence.

Participants will learn the essential building blocks of a strong digital presence, including Google Business Profile basics, website and social media foundations, and how consistency across platforms improves search results. The workshop focuses on clear, achievable actions rather than technical jargon, making it ideal for anyone who feels overwhelmed by online marketing or unsure where to start.

By the end of the session, attendees will understand how people search for them online, what Google is looking for, and the simple steps they can take to improve discoverability, credibility and trust—without needing a big budget or advanced technical skills.

Who Should Attend: We welcome community members from all organisations and backgrounds to participate in this event. Whether you are a business owners, volunteer, or simply someone looking to make a positive impact online, this event is for you.

This event is part of Murrindindi Shire Council's Community Capacity Building Program funded by The Department of Energy, Environment and Climate Action Community Development Fund.
