Editor's Notes

  1. It’s the new yellow pages, first place people look when searching for local products and services It’s quick and easy to use, mobile or desktop
  2. Google+ Local is where you need to focus to capture most customers
  3. So there are two critical components to local online visibility: making sure that a business is listed everywhere that it needs to be...
  4. And making sure those listings are consistent and accurate across all sources.
  5. Latest information that we are able to find is that 90% of us consumers are using online review sites to make buying decisions.
