Ever feel like your team spends more time asking questions than actually getting things done?
Imagine how much smoother your day would run if every process, document, and answer they needed was just a click away - no more repeated questions, lost documents, or outdated manuals.
A traditional operations manual might seem like the answer, but let’s be real - those get outdated fast. So, what’s the better solution?
Enter: The intranet
A Google Sites intranet is the modern, cost-effective way to centralise your business knowledge. If you have a Google account, you already have access to this free tool - just like Google Drive and Gmail. Unlike traditional document storage, a Google Sites intranet is interactive, searchable, and easy to update.
Why Google Sites?
No ongoing hosting fees – It’s included in your Google account.
Accessible anywhere – Your team can access it from any device with a web browser.
Secure & customisable – Control access levels and permissions.
Powerful search functionality – Google’s built-in search tool makes finding information easy.
What to include in your intranet
Your intranet should be a one-stop shop for everything your team needs to work efficiently. Here are some must-have sections:
How-to Videos & Tutorials – Step-by-step guides for key processes.
Policies & Procedures – Keep HR, IT, and compliance documents centralised.
Team Directory – Contact details, bios, and LinkedIn links.
Pricing & Service Lists – Ensure your team always has the latest rates/packages.
Checklists & Templates – Standardised documents to maintain quality and consistency.
Referral & Supplier Contacts – Key companies you work with regularly.
IT & Tech Support Guides – Troubleshooting common issues.
Onboarding & Training – Streamline inductions for new hires.
An up-to-date, well-organised intranet means fewer interruptions, faster onboarding, and a more productive, empowered team.
