The number one local site for news and information in Western Massachusetts, MassLive.com, and the largest chamber of commerce in the Pioneer Valley area, Affiliated Chambers of Commerce of Greater Springfield (ACCGS) have formed a strategic partnership aimed at helping local business development.

The goal of this program is to help emerging growth companies to market leading companies to develop their business through efficient online advertising tools as well as improved Search Engine Optimization and online marketing. During the past few years, MassLive.com’s content has gained tremendous amount of credibility with search engines like Google, Yahoo, and recently MSN’s Bing. As a result, Business Listings frequently appear on the first page of search engine results and are integrated throughout MassLive.com’s content.

MassLive.com’s General Manager, Paul Emery Fritz spoke about the news. “We are excited about our Partnership with the ACCGS and sister chambers and associations and to have the opportunity to serve their membership with cutting-edge digital advertising solutions that will help them grow their business base and improve their rankings with the major search engines."

“The chamber strives to always improve member values working with trusted entities in the marketplace. MassLive.com offers a solution that works for small and large business alike that extends their reach beyond their traditional storefront into the next generation of online media.”- Russell Denver, ACCGS President.

The ACGS and MassLive.com is planning a seminar in early 2010 to share the program the program to it membership.
