Why is local online advertising so important?
“The practice of using online search tools to find local businesses, products, or services -- grew 58 percent in 2008 (ComScore Research, 2008)”
In times past people used printed directories such as Yellow Pages and BT Phone Book to find local information – now they use search engines . Businesses who rely on local customers need to be found at the top of internet search engines for local online advertising. If you aren’t visible for local online searches you can guarantee your competitors will be.
How does local online advertising work?
For most local searches, like ‘Restaurants in Dublin or ‘Wedding photographers West London’, Google and Yahoo will show a number of local business listings.
Naturally there is a huge level of competition for these slots. Many businesses now rely on experienced internet marketers who can provide local search marketing services and to produce and submit professional local online advertising profiles.
