Mr. Chamnan will be speaking about How to Benefit from Google Maps. Google Maps is a map service that you view in desktop and mobile web application. Depending on your location, you can view basic or custom maps and local business information, including business locations, contact information, and driving directions. According to Google, 97 percent of customers shop for local businesses online, and in the world of apps, Google Maps is a heavy hitter. It’s the most popular smartphone app out there, with over 54 percent of smartphone users who use apps using it to get where they need to go. If you have a physical retail location you can’t afford to ignore this easy and free way to – literally and figuratively – get your business on the map. When your business is listed, you help your customers find you through different Google channels such as Maps, Search and Google+ and drive more traffic to your business. How it benefits to personal, business and social!
