In an increasingly digitised and competitive business world, Artificial Intelligence (AI) emerges as a valuable tool available to entrepreneurs and small businesses seeking to remain competitive and adapt to current market demands. According to GoDaddy’s 2023 Data Observatory, 64 percent of the surveyed small business owners reported obtaining up to half of their annual revenue through digital sales channels.
With an aim to provide practical, accessible, and free guidance to entrepreneurs and small businesses on AI to help boost their businesses, GoDaddy rolled out its new guide “Artificial Intelligence for Small Businesses,” on 28th February 2024.
“At GoDaddy, we are committed to empowering small businesses with all the tools and resources to help them start and grow a business. We know that day-to-day operations can be challenging when it comes to the adoption of new technology like AI. The ‘GoDaddy Guide’ can help entrepreneurs understand these tools to help with content creation, product design, customer service, and data analysis,” said Apurva Paltnikar, Senior Director, Marketing, GoDaddy India.
