Fairmont Area Chamber of Commerce is helping small businesses grow their presence online with a Let’s Put Our Cities on the Map workshop, which will feature a lesson about getting found on google search and maps. The workshop will be hosted Thursday July 14, 2016 at Southern Minnesota Education Campus room 012 from 9am to 10am. Participants should bring along a laptop, tablet, etc.
Let’s Put Our Cities on the Map is part of Google’s Get Your Business Online program and aims to bring community members, business owners, and civic leaders together to help small businesses succeed on the web.
“This is a program that I have wanted to implement since discovering that we could partner with Google to help local businesses improve search engine rankings; the timing couldn’t be better,” declared Fairmont Area Chamber President, Margaret Dillard. “Our social media and marketing team is eager to answer questions about your online presence.”
“4 out of 5 consumers use search engines to find local information nearby, yet only 37% of businesses have claimed their listing on a search engine,” says Soo Young Kim, Head of Small Business Engagement at Google. “Small businesses are the engine of local economies and when they flourish, their communities do as well.”
Let’s Put Our Cities on the Map is a program designed to empower communities to support their local businesses and encourage them to get on the map. Local businesses keep our communities strong; when we help them succeed on the web, they make our communities even stronger. The Let’s Put Fairmont on the Map workshop is a Google presentation hosted by Fairmont Area Chamber of Commerce. Visit www.gybo.com to learn more about the program and get involved.
