If you’ve ever wondered whether business awards are worth the effort — or felt awkward about putting yourself forward — this session will completely change how you see them.

In this Business Owners Smashing It Online webinar, award strategist Lara Arden breaks down the real commercial value of winning (or even being a finalist in) credible business awards. From higher profits and stronger authority to staff morale, retention, and pricing power, Lara shows why awards aren’t just trophies — they’re strategic business assets.

This is a practical, eye-opening session for business owners who want stronger credibility, better visibility, and leverage they can use long after the awards night ends.

Join our free live training every Tuesday from 6–7:30pm AEST👉 Register here: https://ezyurl.co/bosio

What You’ll Learn:

The difference between legitimate awards and money-grab schemes

This session helps business owners understand how awards can strengthen reputation, support pricing decisions, improve team culture, and open doors that marketing alone often can’t.

If your website looks great but people still bounce fast, there’s a good chance it’s not a “marketing problem” at all… it’s an accessibility problem.

In this session, certified accessibility auditor Narelle Gatti breaks down what digital accessibility really means (in plain English), why it directly impacts your SEO, and how improving accessibility can open up a large, profitable market you might be ignoring without realising it.

Register for the free weekly Tuesday webinar (6pm – 7:30pm AEST): https://ezyurl.co/bosio

What You’ll Learn:

Why accessibility improvements often boost SEO automatically

The difference between usability and accessibility (and why both matter)

It’s not just for people with permanent disabilities. It helps everyone: people on mobiles, people in noisy environments, people with tired eyes, and people who simply want things to be easy.

If you’ve ever felt like Google is this big, confusing maze where your customers mysteriously disappear… this session makes it simple. Kyle breaks down how Google really works (search, maps, YouTube, ads, tracking), and what you can do to show up more often without needing to be a tech wizard.

How Google Business Profile helps you show up in Search and Maps (plus reviews, calls, messages, quote requests)

Why Google Analytics is still the most useful tracking tool for knowing what’s working

How Google Search Console helps you see what people are searching to find you

A simple way to research keywords using Google’s Keyword Planner (and avoid wasting time on low-volume topics)

Why It Matters:

People don’t usually scroll social media thinking “today I’ll hire a plumber / accountant / web designer”. But they do jump on Google when they need something. This is why Google traffic often comes with stronger intent. When your business is set up properly (profile + tracking + basic optimisation), you make it easier for the right people to find you, trust you, and contact you.
