The city of Canton is helping small businesses grow their presence online with its Let’s Put Canton on the Map workshop.

The seminar will feature a lesson about Google Maps and how local businesses can put their business online. The workshop is set for 4 to 6 p.m. Dec. 9 at Friends American Grill, which is located at 100 River Pointe Parkway in Canton.

Let’s Put Canton 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.

How important is this initiative?

• 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.
• 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 Canton On The Map workshop is a Google presentation hosted by the city of Canton. For more information, call (770) 704-1500 or email camille@canton-georgia.com.
