Local Search is becoming increasingly important to Irish Business.
Its estimated today 20% of all searches are related to location.
In recent times we have seen Google re-brand its
Local Business Center as Google Places,it has also
begin to show an increasing number of Local-related
results for nonspecific search phrases.
Also Google’s apparent merger of organic and
local search is a significant shift in the way the
leading search engine displaysinformation in
search queries that trigger localised results
How this works
Now consumers see a map at the top of the search results that containsa short list of business in their area. Google determines what is deemed a “local search” based on the query, and provides local
content automatically Within the results,
each business has a “pushpin”
that identifies its location on the map.
Clicking on the pushpin opens up additional information,
and that information is powered by Google Places.
It is essential to make it easy for people who are online and local in
proximity to your business to be able to find you. The fastest
way to do this is to have a verified business profile on Google Places.
