Geo Marketing

A new way of marketing a business and its website through web searches, mobile searches and social media

Foursquare

“People use foursquare to "check-in", which is a way of telling us your whereabouts.

When you check-in someplace, we'll tell your friends where they can find you and recommend places to go & things to do nearby.

People check-in at all kind of places - cafes, bars, restaurants, parks, homes, offices”
