Why should you attend?
The workshop, being put on in collaboration with Google, will help local businesses learn to improve the information that shows up on Google search, Google maps and Google+. Studies show consumers are looking for more than just basic information when searching online or on maps, but also expect to easily find other information – such as business hours. According to research conducted by Google and research company Ipsos MediaCT, consumers are 38% more likely to visit and 29% more likely to consider purchasing from businesses with more complete listings.

Immediately following the workshop, attendees receive a free ticket to the annual Rooftop Networking Party, where more than 500 people from throughout Portland’s creative and marketing communities get together for one of the best networking events of the summer
