Iowa Get Your Business Online with Google, WITCC, SBDC & the Siouxland Chamber

Description

The Western Iowa Tech Community College Small Business Development Center and the Siouxland Chamber of Commerce will offer free online business training by Google this January in conjunction with Google’s Iowa Get Your Business Online program.

Iowa Get Your Business Online provides a fast and easy way for Iowa businesses to build an online presence. Google is partnering with Intuit to provide its popular Intuit Websites offering for free, which includes an easy-to-build website, a customized domain name, and web-hosting for one year. Participating Iowa businesses will also receive a local business listing on Google Places, along with free tools, trainings and resources to grow their business online.

Small businesses are vital to America’s economic future; the nation’s 27.5 million small businesses comprise half the U.S. GDP and create two-thirds of all new jobs. While 97% of Americans look online for local products and services, 63% of American small businesses do not have a website. Iowa Get Your Business Online is a Google-led program dedicated to helping to drive economic growth by providing Iowa local businesses the tools and resources to get online and succeed.

The workshop is free, but participation is limited. For more information and to register, visit www.iowagetonline.com/events.
