DCCI-Google workshop to help boost Chamber’s online presence

Dubai / Emirates Business

The Dubai Chamber of Commerce and
Industry (DCCI) recently hosted a workshop in partnership with Google to assist Chamber members’ efforts to strengthen their
online presence and reach among potential customers.
The event, held at Dubai Chamber’s premises, was the first in a series of workshops aimed at familiarising companies with the Google My Business solution, and helping them strengthen their digital presence.
The workshop provided businesses with an overview of value-added features and benefits offered by Google My Business, which enable them to manage business information on Google Search and Google Maps, interact with customers, post photos, and display working hours.
Dubai Chamber members who registered for the workshop will enjoy exclusive benefits such as the ability to verify their businesses immediately on Google My Business, and receive round-the-clock support from Google’s call centre. The first members
to verify will also get the chance to participate in a series of digital marketing training sessions. In addition, verified members
are provided with free access to the Google My Business dashboard where they can
get valuable insights on how customers
use Google Search and Google Maps to find their listings.
Khalil Haddad, Director Strategy and Corporate Development, Dubai Chamber, stressed the importance of organising and hosting such workshops as they provide Chamber members with the right knowledge and tools they need to grow and boost their competitive edge.
“These workshops fall in line with Dubai Chamber’s strategy to promote smarter business practices locally, and improve ease of doing business in Dubai. Google is
an ideal partner for this important initia-tive with its vast experience and special-
ised tools that can bring companies up to speed on new technologies and help them maximise their online potential.
