Sixty percent of online activity is related to local content.
Boston, MA (PRWEB) May 21, 2008
Brick Marketing, a respected full-service website marketing firm known for its success in increasing the sales of clients through online marketing, has launched a new local search engine marketing product. The new local online marketing package gives brick and mortar businesses the opportunity to achieve higher exposure in a wide range of local search engines.
As Internet users incorporate the Internet more fully into daily life, they are more likely to research products online and use that information to influence their purchasing decisions. Web users are more proficient in modifying search terms with the names of local cities rather than relying on broad online search terms that do not yield local goods and services search results. It is, therefore, increasingly important for small businesses to enhance their online presence through local search engine marketing. According to search statistics provided by Google in May 2003, "Sixty percent of online activity is related to local content." An April 2005 article ("E-Commerce Gets Smarter") in the MIT Technology Review stated, "For every one dollar U.S. consumers spend online, another five or six dollars are going to offline purchases that are influenced by online research."
As brick and mortar businesses across the country struggle with rising costs and increased competition, the necessity to cultivate an enhanced presence through local online marketing has risen substantially. Brick Marketing's local search engine marketing package provides easier access to local online marketing for small businesses in any industry.
Through the new local search engine marketing package at Brick Marketing Local, the Brick Marketing online marketing experts will update and submit a local business profile, along with the business' web address, physical address, phone number, hours of operation, and other pertinent information to a variety of local search engines on a monthly basis.
These local search engines include:
- Google Maps
- Yahoo! Local
- MSN Local (Live.com)
- YellowPages.com
- Merchant Circle
- WhitePages.com
The monthly submission to the search engines ensures that the business continuously ranks prominently in local searches. The primary benefit to businesses is, of course, increased sales. An even greater benefit is the time and expense saved in the administrative process of local online marketing each month.
BrickMarketingLocal.com provides the local search engine marketing service for the lowest price on the Web. Interested businesses can visit http://www.BrickMarketingLocal.com , call toll-free at 877-295-0620, or send an email to info@BrickMarketing.com for further details.
