The Power of Local Search (and the future)

Well I finally had time this weekend to sit down and read the latest issue of Entrepreneur magazine. Even in this digital age I still enjoy “real” books and magazines in addition to all the internet stuff. One of the reasons I was so excited is because the cover of Entrepreneur Magazine is: “GO LOCAL”. Finally a detailed story about the power and future of Local Internet Marketing!

In addition to some interesting statistics and their list of recommended “must dos” for local businesses (they quote a restaurant owner in San Francisco quite a bit) the story illustrates exactly why I love local internet marketing so much. The yellow pages will always be helpful and useful BUT more and more people are using their cell phones, work computers, laptops etc. to find local businesses and services. Very few of these businesses are taking advantage of this and that’s why the growth won’t happen overnight, however it will happen steadily.

Thank you Entrepreneur Magazine!!! Here’s the article
