Although we aren’t social media consultants, we find that Facebook problems are part of the computer repair business here in Lawrence, Kansas. Often these problems are hacks, hijacking, or vandalism of a web page. For many businesses, a Facebook page is a key way to interact with customers and promote their business.

If you can’t tell, DoctorDave Computer Repair in Lawrence is a social company. We don’t just socialize with our customers during service calls, but we are on Twitter, Facebook, Yelp, and Google Plus as well as blogging (just like this) I won’t lie and say it’s not time consuming because it is!

Of course, with me as your computer doc you can email, text, imessage, Facebook Tweet and use just about any method you wish to reach […]
While we are fortunate we’ve never had negative reviews yet for DoctorDave Computer Repair in Lawrence, KS, the fact is statistically it’s bound to happen. While we try to screen out difficult clients, the fact is that even the best doctors sometimes aren’t a good fit for certain patients. Sometimes the messenger gets blamed for […]
