<![CDATA[Many Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) in rural areas still face challenges regarding conventional marketing and limited location accessibility due to a lack of digital registration on online maps. This community service initiative aims to enhance the accessibility and visibility of MSMEs in Wonosari Village through a Google Maps-based business location mapping program. The methodology employed combines participatory and educational approaches, involving outreach, intensive door-to-door training, assistance with registering location coordinates, and periodic monitoring. Collected business data—including business names, categories, full addresses, contact details, and product photos—was submitted for direct verification by Google. Program evaluations revealed a 40% average increase in the partners' digital marketing knowledge, based on pre-test and post-test results. MSME locations were successfully mapped with precision on Google Maps, significantly making it easier for consumers from outside the area to locate the physical business premises. Discussions highlighted that integrating digital visibility via Google Maps complements user-friendly physical accessibility, expands market reach, boosts sales potential, and shifts the rural business owners' mindset regarding the ease of adopting digital technology. The program has proven effective in accelerating digital transformation and sustainably supporting rural economic self-reliance.]]>
