The AVLG can solve all sorts of problems, and "Yes" you will have to ask google yourself.
The is more to the AVLG then simply creating a fast and efficient business and community directory, the AVLG is also developing promotional guides for the Avon Valley.
Businesses and community groups are welcome to call or email to discuss inclusion in the promotional pages.
After all, there is well over a million people just over the hill who could visit the Avon Valley more often. We simply have to make it easy for them to find us and what the Avon Valley has to offer.
Put everything in one place that is easy to find and use and people will find more reasons to come to the Avon. The more people we can attract, the more the region prospers.
There is more to the Avon region than most people realize and the AVLG would like to bring local businesses and community projects to the attention of the people everywhere.
The AVLG has global reach, here is a screen shot from Google Japan.
We have recently produced a Avon Valley Event Guide and a Northam Local Visitor Guide. If your group has annual events in the Avon Valley, the AVLG would like to let everyone know about them. As always, community advertisements are free.
The Avon Valley Events Guide covers the whole Avon Valley as it is important to promote events regionally.
Promoters of events in Toodyay, York, Beverly and Brookton are invited to have their events included in the Avon Valley Event Guide.
While the Northam Local Visitor Guide is designed to focus on Northam, it is important to work regionally. If there is sufficient interest from business and community contributors in neighboring shires, visitor guides to the shires of Toodyay, York, Beverly and Brookton can be created for potential visitors and local people alike.
