New York, NY, Dec. 3, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) --
Likeable
Local
CEO, Dave
Kerpen today announced the launch of Likeable Local
Pro, a new social media marketing software tool
for small and medium-sized businesses to combat Facebook's
imminent algorithm change in January 2015 that will force
businesses who want to reach their customers and prospects on
Facebook to pay for advertising - a move the Wall Street
Journal says, "will
sting entrepreneurs."
Likeable Pro offers a solution to this big problem facing small and
medium-sized businesses by building a more customizable experience.
Its clients will receive personalized business strategy and
consulting sessions, additional Facebook advertising spending,
customized and branded content, expanded social network support,
and blogging features. These will enhance the components innate to
Likeable Local's software for small businesses, including listening
tools, vertical-specific content publisher, Turbopost™ social ad
technology, mobile web profiles, analytics tools, and offline
marketing kits.
"Small businesses simply lack the time, money, skills and resources to hire an agency or do social media on their own. We're happy to provide the software and support that so many businesses need," says Kerpen (who is a New York Times bestselling author and contributing writer for LinkedIn, Mashable, Inc, Fast Company, The Huffington Post, Forbes, and The Washington Post and whose work has been featured on MSNBC's "Your Business," CNBC's "On the Money," ABC World News Tonight, CBS's "The Early Show," BBC World News, the New York Times and more).
Likeable Local Pro follows the successful launches of Likeable Dentists in 2013, Likeable Jewelers in 2014, and Likeable Nonprofits in partnership with Grassroots.org.
Dave Kerpen launched Likeable Local in 2013 in New York City. He previously co-founded and served as the CEO of Likeable Media, a twice-ranked INC 500 social media marketing agency. He is the New York Times bestselling author of Likeable Social Media and Likeable Business and the most read LinkedIn Influencer of all time with over 20 million page views, ahead of Bill Gates, Jack Welch and President Obama.
