Billions of local searches are conducted on Google each month, with a 34% increase in search terms for places "near me" in the past four years. And even though digital shopping and ecommerce are growing at a tremendous pace, 85% of all transactions are still happening in a local store. Local businesses can make a huge impact through the use of tools and technologies available on the web.

Join us May 2nd at Amplified Digital, for a live streaming event, and learn from Google thought leaders, who will discuss ways in which local businesses can be found and thrive on the internet.
