Google and partners have come together to create the "Get Nigerian Businesses Online" initiative. Their goal is to help as many small and medium businesses as possible in Nigeria establish a web presence. By getting online, Nigerian businesses can start to benefit from the opportunities that the Internet provides.
Google's mission is to organise the world's information and make it universally accessible and useful. Google's strategy in Africa is to get more users online by developing an accessible, relevant and sustainable Internet ecosystem. Getting more Nigerian businesses online is one big step that will help to grow that ecosystem. Their search technologies connect millions of people around the world with information everyday. And now, they are very committed to help connect people with as much local content from Nigeria as possible.
They are providing an easy and free end-to-end website solution that will enable small and medium businesses in Nigeria get online. They are giving away for free; an easy-to-build and maintain professional website, a sub-domain (e.g., mybusiness.gnbo.com.ng), webiste hosting for the life of the website, a local business listing on Google Maps and Places. If a user decides to purchase a customised domain name (e.g., mybusiness.com) they will also recieve for free 10 customisable email accounts (to match the domain), Google Apps for up to 10 users. Additionally, businesses will also have access to other tools, resources, and training that they are providing to support the process of creating a web presence.
A website breaks down boarders and opens up your business up to customers around the world 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Help customers find you whether they are down the road, across Nigeria or around the World. Your customers are online, your business needs to join them.
