Testimonials

"I'm the Marketing Director at Virginia Business Systems, and a one man band when it comes to all thins marketing, PR, and website-related. My background in in marketing & search engine optimization, and last year I was certified by Google for SEO. After fifteen minutes in our meeting adding keywords to our member profile, our GCCC profile was the third hit on Google when you search for Virginia Business Systems. That means one less space for our competitors to pop up when you search for us, and another great resource for us to get in front of our community. I was so proud of our profile on the GCCC site that I tried to change each of our greater Richmond Chamber profiles - GCCC is the only chamber in the greater Richmond area to have all of those incredible options!

From logos to photos, videos, and banners, some simple tweaks in the GCCC member profile made us the top result when you search for our services, and populated Google with our page. I was astounded and so glad. VBS is proud to be members of the Goochland County Chamber of Commerce, and I look forward to continuing our work with the GCCC for years to come. Thank you!"
