Local Search Is Exploding

The recent and continuing trends on the internet project that local search is going to grow by and average of 13% every year until at least 2012. It's time to jump on the local search bandwagon.

It used to be that small business wanted to sell their products around the world, well they have all accomplished that and now are looking for ways to draw in the local consumers with focused targeted advertising.



The Next Big Internet Opportunity

According to many estimates, more than 600 million unique visitors (i.e. people) search just Google and Yahoo each month with local intent. Local search is already huge. And it is getting bigger - fast. According to researcher Marchex, local search queries increased by 24 percent in 2007, faster than general searches, which increased by only 14 percent. In fact, Google believes that at least 40% of ALL searches have local intent currently. Why is local search so important? On top of increasing competitiveness for most commercial keywords, the changing behaviour of search users, and the opportunity for Google to sell more ads for the same keyword - local search will drive the results for the approaching wave of mobile search.
