Google has launched a campaign to help New Orleans area small businesses build their presence on the Internet with help from university students at Dillard, Loyola, Tulane and Xavier. The program offers training for business owners, showing them how to raise their profiles on Google Maps and other Google searches and services.

One goal, said Katelin Todhunter-Gerberg, a spokeswoman for the initiative, is to help New Orleans businesses get better wired in time for the Super Bowl at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome in February.

Training takes place Tuesdays from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. at the second-floor Central City Renaissance Alliance office at the Mahalia Jackson Elementary campus, 2405 Jackson Avenue; and Fridays from 5:30 p.m. to 7 p.m. at the Good Work Network office, 2028 Oretha Castle Haley Boulevard.
