In the new world of business information flowing “outside in” instead of “inside out,” every entrepreneur or small business has to pay attention to not only the information on their own website but also the information on the internet. Searching for yourself on Google is no longer narcissistic, but a business requirement.

Are you going to participate, or let someone else?
