Natashya Rios, director of marketing at Web.com, will lead the discussion at the Web.com Small Business Summit, and will share information and tools that small business owners can use to improve their cash flow, increase their online visibility and optimize their online marketing efforts.

Topics and content at the Small Business Summit focus on ways small business owners can achieve a successful Internet presence, including the elements of a great website; how to determine if their website is working for them; increasing traffic to their website and business; mobile marketing; and decoding how to efficiently market their business on Google, Facebook and Twitter.

"As part of our commitment to give back to the communities we serve, we are pleased to offer this event that is focused on helping small business owners improve their business model," said Rios.

Points earned in official Charles Schwab Cup events in 2014 determined Bernhard Langer as the Charles Schwab Cup champion, the season-long competition designed to recognize the Champions Tour's leading player.
