Did you know that over 43% of all searches made on Google are location based?
Popular local searches on Google now show Google's local business results beside a Google Map.
The way people research and find information about local businesses has fundamentally changed.The massive growth of search engines, social networking and mobile devices has revolutionized the way people discover local businesses. Traditional media institutions like the Yellow Pages, newspapers and classified ads no longer deliver the results that your business needs to thrive in this challenging economy.
Consumers, particularly those under the age of 35, rarely use the Yellow Pages, newspapers or classified ads anymore. They are turning to search engines to find information online, research local businesses, compare products, and make their purchasing decisions. Research shows that more than 90% of the time, users will explore only within the first page of location-based searches. If you don’t appear near the top of the local listings, then you are losing substantial business to competitors who rank higher.
Google Trends shows the rapidly declining interest in the Yellow Pages since 2004.
