Many local business owners are asking themselves if online advertising is right for them.
Our view is that, YES, now is the right time for you to join the online advertising revolution.

This is why:
Reason #1 - Consumers Choose online searches over Yellow Pages
Yellow pages has been eclipsed by online search engines as the primary way consumers find out information about products and services to purchase in their local markets. In June, 2007, comScore Networks reported that 60% of local consumers now go online to search for local businesses, as opposed to 33% that go first to the printed yellow pages.

Reason #2 - Online lookers become in-store buyers.
That same comScore study indicated that 80% of the consumers that search online for a business, a product or a service make an offline purchase at a local store.

Reason #3 - There are better online advertising options.
The major search engines, such as Google and Yahoo have been improving their ability to serve consumers doing local searches, and have introduced new products to meet those needs, such as Google Maps.

Reason #4 - Specialized local portals target consumer needs.
There are now thousands of local portals vying for consumer eyeballs, and as some of those come to dominate, your presence there will also be important. Local search has been gaining momentum with local consumers, and is now at the ‘tipping point.’ Being there matters.

Reason #5 - Consumer sentiment is starting to shift.
Now, the first place many look to judge your credibility is your website. In fact a Web.com study discovered that almost 40% of consumers say that a web presence – or lack of – affects their buying decisions!
