I get the impression that Korean business people don't know anything about getting their businesses or services on Google. Im betting the reason for that is most likely because they're really not internet savy at all and also because they just assume everybody uses Naver.

But the other thing I was wondering is.......do foreigners bother to try to use Google to look up info about Korea....i.e. things such as clubs, where to buy clothes, suits, shoes, catering services, entertaining, sporting guides, etc.?

I've looked on the internet for a few things and it seems that Korean business, other than a few of the larger (probably US educated) medical type establishments, don't bother to have US language webpages.

Google is useless for a lot of korean things. Use naver.
I've never gotten driving directions out of google.

So, the OP is saying that Koreans should use google just because he does?

OP, how many websites in the US ar written in Korean? Over 1 million Koreans living in the US. If you so insist that Korean websites should be in English, then why not insist US websites are in Korean?
