Why Local Internet Advertising?

Is your click-and-mortar business stuck in brick-and-mortar days? Local Marketing Experts helps you compete locally and turn clickers into customers.

Today’s small business storefronts are radically different from the way they used to be. Now small businesses are happily discovering that the Internet has given them the resources to compete not only against other same-sized businesses but bigger ones as well. But positioning your business in the electronic marketplace with an optimized website is just the beginning. 

To be successful—especially in a slow economy—a business must be found locally. A recent study from Webvisible and Nielsen has shown that more people turn to search engines for local searches than Yellow Pages directories. When searching for a local business, 50% of searchers look online, while only 24% look in a phone book. “To generate more quantifiable results and drive sales, small business marketers need to think and act like Internet users, especially in today’s economy,” said Kevin M. Ryan, Chief Marketing Officer at Webvisible. Managing for the trend of consumers using the Internet instead of Yellow Pages when looking for local companies, most small business owners are putting their marketing budgets where they will work the hardest—on the Internet.

But just because you’re good at running your business doesn’t necessarily mean that you’re good at running your business on the Internet. And in this technologically-savvy generation, promoting your business online is imperative. So how do you target the best prospects and attract customers who are looking for what you offer? Other local businesses know. They’re creating strong, cost-effective online marketing plans and chipping away at your sales.

Local Internet marketing narrows the competitive field and will drive more qualified traffic to your site—faster.

2. Increasing your search engine visibility. Local Internet advertising enables businesses to appear at or near the top of local directory listings and local search engine results. 95% of searchers do not look past the first page of search results.
