What is Local Search Marketing?
Local Search Marketing is when a business ranks for
keywords related to their product or service in their
geographic area.

Local results will appear in the results page
under 2 conditions:
The search engine user put a city or state in the search
box with their initial search query like “transmission repair
Johnson City, TN”

The search engine deemed that a generic phrase like
“carpet cleaning” should be local in nature so it feeds
results from the location of the users IP address.


Yellow page use declining every year!

Bill Gates Quote: 2007 – 5 Years Ago
"When you look for something like 'plumber' the
presentation you get will be far better than what you
get in the Yellow Pages," Gates said. "After all, we
know your location and so we can cluster [results]
around that. ... Yellow Page usage amongst people in
their, say below 50, will drop to near zero over the
next five years."
