What is Local Marketing?

There are many businesses and organizations that focus their marketing effort exclusively on their local marketing. Businesses such as auto dealerships, grocery stores, restaurants, local law firms and many more only do business within a certain geographic area – usually the one they are in physically. Adapting tools such as paid Search (PPC) and Search Engine Optimization (SEO) to local marketing requires a different approach than one would use in a national or international campaign and there are additional tools that are used specifically for local marketing such as your local listings and reviews (although reviews are a best practice for any organization they are especially important for local marketing). Local marketing allows larger firms to establish dominance in their own backyards geographically while allowing smaller firms to compete more effectively in their local markets.

Why Do You Need Local Marketing Services?

Local marketing is more important to small businesses than ever before. Consumers are looking for local search results to find out more about businesses in their neighborhoods and local areas. This means that you have a big chance to grow your business by taking advantage of local marketing opportunities right in your own neck of the woods.

Take a look at some of the research coming out from Google on Local Search Behavior and see why local marketing is so important for small businesses:

  • 4 out of 5 consumers use search engines to find local information.
  • Google “near mesearches have increased by two times over the past year
  • 36% of respondents say that a clear & smart website gives a local business more credibility

  • 18% of local searches on smartphones lead to a purchase within a day, compared to only 7% of non-local searches.
  • 67% of smartphone users want ads customized via city and ZIP code, and 61% want ads customized to their immediate surroundings
  • Address and location are the primary pieces of information sought by local searchers
  • 92 percent of searchers choose a business that is on page one of search results. (Is your site optimized for local search?)
  • 4 out of 5 consumers want to see ads that are customized to their location – city, ZIP code, or immediate surroundings.

Clearly, consumers are using local searches to find information about businesses like yours. But are you ready to be found?
