Some more thoughts on Google Places. It's expanding like wildfire. Everytime you do a search, note mentally how many times you see a "7-pack" or "10-pack" (see example offered at the TOP of search queries where people are trying to locate a business. It's going to climb to 50-70% of the time.
Notice that all the organic listings - the ones we kill ourselves to get into, are UNDER the local search results!!! So, the name of the game is LOCAL. As more and more businesses in the U.S. and abroad conform to the new normal, an international business directory will be created - a huge, vast database of businesses with detailed local information.
Have you heard of QR codes? With a simple app on your iphone you wave your phone over the QR image and pop! your local search result for that business comes up. Sounds like another marketing opportunity! |
