News & Updates

With population shifts on the rise in the United States, attracting people and students to your area and to your district’s schools can be critical. Increases or decreases in student population can drastically affect school budgets. When people are considering a move to your area, your district and its schools need to look their best.

Upgrade your Google Search Profile with Facilitron

These days, whenever people want information about anything, they “Google” it. The way your district looks in those search results is often the first impression you make on potential new students, community members, and staff looking to work in your district. What are your search results saying about your organization?

To prevent incorrect information or a poor representation of your organization from happening, Facilitron has launched a new initiative to help public space owners like schools and community centers connect their Facilitron accounts to their Google Business Profile.

By participating in the program, Facilitron's professional facility photos and other facility information and descriptions can be used in your Google Business profile to enhance the professionalism of your organization's presence on Google.

Instead of random photos uploaded by community members, your organization’s profile will display your rental site’s drone and wide-angle photos. Other upgrades include address and phone information, hours and links directly to your organization’s facility rental site.

Benefits of Upgrading Your Google Business Profile

For school districts: Connecting Facilitron and Google’s profile pages benefits each school in the district providing a uniform and consistent Google presence for the district and all its locations through updated photos and descriptions.

Enhanced Search Results: Upgraded search profiles feature results enhanced by Facilitron’s professional photos and facility details, while other results may show no photos or incomplete and possibly incorrect information.

Timely Communications: In addition to photos and facility information, your organization can include descriptions and even create posts with up-to-date information highlighting upcoming events, special notices, or promotions.

Community Engagement: Show your community that you embrace your role as a hub for community activities by including links to your facility request and leasing page. This can further enhance your search results and even lead to increased revenue through your rental program.
