Before the advent of smartphones, local businesses were only known among limited groups. Moreover, the business is still on a small scale, it is difficult for traders to be better known. Since smartphones have become commonplace, applications such as Google Maps have had a huge impact on society. Businesses that were originally only known in their environment are now more visible to everyone. I managed to help my uncle to introduce his business on google maps. The store is already rather large, but of course the reach is only limited in the city. Moreover, many household goods are sold. With the add place feature on Google Maps, I finally added the store to the map.
After I added the store to Google Maps, traffic continued to increase. This of course is an advantage for local traders to introduce their business to a wider range than they can reach. This is what causes local guides to continue to grow and develop into large communities because of the positive impact felt by all parties. All because of the power of the internet and Google Maps, thank you Google Maps!
