Holistic Approach is a Must
Why Local Search Matters
20% of all search queries
            have a local intent
Only 5%      of those use the city
or state within the search query
70% of online searchers
   will use local search to find
                    offline businesses



                                Kelsey Group
86% of online users will be
   searching for a local business

           at some point in time

                              Kelsey Group
54% of search users have substituted
        Internet/search for the phone
           book



                             comScore Group
What do these stats mean to you?




You could be missing out on
up to 20% of your potential
traffic
Reviews Are Important

Consumers are influenced by user reviews –
one bad review can multiply quickly

Things to Avoid


What Not to Do:
 • Don’t have multiple local business listings with the exact same address –
   differentiate with suite numbers when possible
 • Don’t have multiple local business listings with the same phone number
 • Don’t use a PO Box
 • Don’t list multiple locations on the same page of your website – give each
   location its own optimized page and link location listings to that page
 • Don’t use an 800 number in local business listing (should use local phone
   number – can include 800 number as an alternate phone number)




                                                                                32
