Local Search Engine Optimization

Is the process of targeting buyers in a local geography for the products and services that local businesses provide. According to comScore, an industry leader in Internet research, 63% of U.S. Internet users perform local searches. Of those local searches, approximately 41% were searching for information on a local service in their home area.

 

The study also found that consumers searching locally typically take action. Almost half (47%) of local searchers visited the local merchant as a direct result of their search behavior. For small to medium sized businesses, local search engine optimization has the highest return on investment (ROI) of any type of marketing.

 

While most people still use a variety of different methods to find a local business, the study found what people seem to prefer as their first choice for doing so:

1. Search Engines (31%)

2. Print Yellow Pages or White Pages (30%)

2. Internet Yellow Pages Sites (19%)

4. Local Search Sites (11%)
