The Big Shift For Local Search

If you’re a local business owner that relies on business from the traditional forms of marketing then your bottom line is shrinking daily.

Take a look at the following statistics:

“70% of US household now use the Internet as an information source when shopping locally for products and services” (Kelsey Group)

31% of all business buyers turn to a Search Engine first when looking for a locally based product or service

Product Research and Comparison shopping happens online, but 67% of those purchases happen offline (Accenture)

90% of purchases are made within 50 miles of a person’s home (Kelsey)

Consider the following local search data: 43% of all searches on the Google network included a geographical identifier.

o 86% of those people followed up with a phone call
o 61% of those people ended up making a purchase offline

This is great news for small business owners and my job is to help you build your online presence using this information to build our business.
