Go Cedar Valley opens nominations for three small business gifts

WATERLOO, Iowa - EntSun -- Know a local business owner who could use a hand online? Josh Race, a web designer in Waterloo, is giving his time and work to three Cedar Valley businesses through Go Cedar Valley. Neighbors can nominate a business, and owners can enter their own, through November 15.

One business will receive a new website or a redesign, including free hosting and a year of support. Another will receive a detailed review of its website, Google presence and the steps customers take to contact it or buy, with a personal walkthrough and a plan for what to improve. A third will receive 12 months of SEO work to help customers find it on Google.

Josh will handle the agreed work and cover the gift costs. There is no required purchase or obligation to hire him afterward. The website recipient owns the finished site and files.

The giveaway is open to eligible independently owned businesses in Black Hawk, Bremer, Buchanan, Butler, Chickasaw and Grundy counties. Businesses do not need a storefront or an existing website.
