Google is partnering with the Spartanburg Area Chamber of Commerce and the City of Spartanburg for Let’s Put Our Cities on the Map to help small businesses grow their presence online.
The program kicked off this week, and the ongoing partnership will allow businesses to sign up for workshops to learn how to succeed on the Internet.
Shea Dent, marketing and design strategist for the Spartanburg Chamber, said dates for the workshops will be announced in the coming weeks.
“Four out of five consumers use search engines to find local information nearby, yet only 37 percent of businesses have claimed their listing on a search engine,” Soo Young Kim, Google’s head of small business engagement, said in a release. “Small businesses are the engine of local economies and when they flourish, their communities do as well.”
Spartanburg Chamber president Allen Smith said Let’s Put Our Cities on the Map will help promote Spartanburg County as a destination for business and tourism.
