'Google My Business' makes it easier for business to create their online presence even when they don't have a website and manage it from their smartphones, making it easier for customers to get in touch with local businesses when they search for them online, Google said.
He said "Globally over 2 million businesses use Google's advertising platform to find potential buyers on internet. We have very ambitious plan of bringing down the barriers that inhibits SMBs in India from embracing the internet."
