The Smithville-DeKalb County Chamber of Commerce is helping small businesses grow their presence online with a Let’s Put DeKalb County on the Map workshop, which will feature a lesson about Getting Found on Google Search and Maps. The workshop will be hosted on November 20, 2015 at the DeKalb County Complex from 11 am to 5 pm. Google trained staff from the TN Small Business Development Center at Tennessee Tech University will be on-hand from 11 am to 5 pm to assist local business owners with setup. Three presentations at 12 pm, 2 pm, & 4 pm will explain the benefits of registering as well as the process.
Let’s Put DeKalb County 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.
“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 Getting Found on Google Search and Maps workshop is a Google presentation hosted by the Smithville-DeKalb County Chamber of Commerce and the Tennessee Small Business Development Center at Tennessee Tech University.
