    Lesley and Alba were so cool and nice. They made the interview so easy and smooth. Since they posted the video I’ve been having more clients - especially Latinos. Going Gainesville is definitely worth it.

    I had so much working with Lesley of Going Gainesville. I was lucky to have her spotlight my business on their page! The whole interview was a blast and her crew was a joy to work with!  My customers loved the video and we've had so many more calls since the spotlight. Thank you for featuring and supporting small business!
