Local SEO & SEM
LOCAL SEARCH IS CRAZY IMPORTANT!
Today there are well over 10 billion unique searches done each month, and that’s just in the United States! Of those searches,
• 40% of queries have Local intent
• 5% use the city and/or state name
• 2% use informal terms, like neighborhoods
• 0.5% use zip codes
On Yahoo alone, 100 Million unique visitors per month search with “local intent”. We can extrapolate that there are HALF A BILLION unique Local searches per month on Google, based on Yahoo’s ~15% market share (though we’ve not seen any “hard numbers” released by Google about its average Local Search volume). We’ve seen both Google and Yahoo make dramatic shifts in how they return results, and all the trends point to Local. (1)
Every month billions of local online searches are performed on local search engines or business directories by consumers looking for local services and products. That means having a strong local online presence is essential for your business.
