Google invites Upstate businesses to workshop

Local business owners invited to Let’s Put Greenville on the Map with Google workshop hosted by Piedmont SCORE and DOM360

Piedmont SCORE and DOM360 are helping small businesses grow their presence online with a Let’s Put Greenville on the Map workshop, which will feature an instructional session, “Getting Found on Google Search and Maps”. The drop-in workshop will be held September 1st at the Hughes Main Library, from 5-8:30 PM.

Let’s Put Greenville 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.

“DOM360 is thrilled to be a part of Let’s Put Greenville on the Map. It has long been a passion project for our team, and we can’t wait to share this information with local businesses,” DOM360 CEO Robert Donovan says.

“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 Get Found on Google Search and Maps workshop is a Google presentation hosted by Piedmont SCORE in conjunction with DOM360, a local marketing and advertising agency.

Local businesses can RSVP for the Greenville event at dom360.com/gybo.
