The Search Is On!

As a traditional local business owner transitioning from the days of the yellow pages and newspaper to online marketing I thought the Google commercial below is inspiring.  It shows how powerful it is to have instant information at your fingertips at anytime.

Google, the largest collector of information, recognized the importance of local searches to consumers. As a result, Google created Google Places  – it’s a way to present searchers what they’re searching for in their own local towns or cities – whether it is a restaurant, dry cleaner or attorney.

This is why as a local business owner you want your business online so you can be found.  Being located online is more affordable than you might think.
