Every week, a majority of the DesignWorks digital team gets together on Friday morning to talk about news they found important or interesting that week, tips & tricks we think can be helpful to clients and prospects, a couple jokes, and enjoy a cup of whatever feels right for a Friday morning. We can linger on certain topics for a while, so "Drinks & Thinks" is a boiled down version for you to enjoy.

Weekly things to check on:

- Make sure your Google My Business page is claimed by YOU! Instructions here.

- On multiple social platforms like Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and Snapchat? Make sure your branding is consistant across all of your platforms. This can be as simple as having the same logo present in all of your profile pics. This helps consumers easily identify your official pages and makes it easier to identify your page when tagging you in posts.
