Weatherhead School of Management Students to host Let’s Put Cleveland on the Map workshop at Case Western Reserve University to help small businesses succeed on the web

Case Western Reserve University MBA students are helping small businesses grow their presence online with a Let’s Put Cleveland on the Map workshop, which will feature a lesson about how to grow your business online. The workshop will be hosted by Richard Scheufler, Case MBA student and marketing consultant at VIB Marketing Agency, on March 18 at the Weatherhead School of Management from 12pm to 3pm.

Let’s Put Cleveland 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.

“This event is part of a worldwide initiative grow local businesses’ online presence. My classmates and I want to help put Cleveland businesses ‘On the Map,’ so they appear more prominently in Google searches and reach more customers. Before attendees leave, we will help claim and verify their business online with a comprehensive profile and map listing.”

“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 Kim Young, 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. Cleveland businesses keep our community strong; when we help them succeed on the web, they make our community even stronger. This free business workshop is also an opportunity for Weatherhead School of Management students to get contribute to the Cleveland community and gain real-world marketing experience.
