Search engines are now the #1 resource used by consumers looking for products and services from local businesses.
Nearly 9 out of 10 people use search engines to find local businesses from which to shop - more than 1 billion local searches every month. Local business owners who market themselves on search engines are in the best position to sustain and grow their companies. An entire generation has now grown up in the Internet age, rarely considering traditional offline advertising resources for their local information needs. 85% of 18-24 year olds in this survey rely on search engines, and even 67% of those over the age of 65 look to search engines. No matter the age of your business clientele, search engines are the primary resource used to find your business.
