\u201c4 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,\u201d says Soo Young Kim, Head of Small Business Engagement at Google. \u201cSmall businesses are the engine of local economies and when they flourish, their communities do as well.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Let\u2019s Put Our Cities on the Map<\/span><\/i> 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 \u201cGet found on Google Search and Maps\u201d workshop is a Google presentation delivered by Official City Partner, Starfish*Global<\/a> <\/span>based in New Jersey.<\/span><\/p>\n
