The statistics on local search are through the roof with Google reporting that 88% of local consumers start their journey at a search engine. From there they get even better with 60-80% of local searches leading to a
call, visit and/or purchase, usually within a day or two of the initial search.

Google Local For Reviews
One of the most important things that should never be overlooked is the fact that when a business shows up in Google’s local search results it comes accompanied with a full set of customer reviews…… and customer reviews are the biggest trend in business today!
- Traffic to the top 10 review sites grew on average 158% last year (Compete.com)
- 92% have more confidence in info found online than they do in anything from a salesclerk or other source (Wall Street Journal, Jan 2009)
- 70% consult reviews or ratings before purchasing (BusinessWeek)
- 51% of consumers use the Internet, even before making a purchase in a shop (Verdict Research)
- 45% say they are influenced a fair amount or a great deal by reviews on social sites from people they follow (Harris Poll)
Get On Board Or Get Left Behind..Really
VERY FEW businesses have more than a website, even less have an SEO optimized site using lead capturing techniques and again less are in the know about where a large portion of ‘business leads’ are going and to a large degree, have already gone.
