What Are "Local Search Engines" And How Are They Different From "Traditional" Search Engines? Local search engines were created to improve consumer's local search experiences. These "localized" sites are actually integrated into traditional search engines and often receive priority placement over traditional local Custom Website design results when local searches are done. And today, the number of local searches per month is nearly 2 billion, 25% of all searches done online. There are many local search engines, but some of the leading ones include Google Maps®, Yahoo Local®, MSN Live Local®, Superpages.com®, Yellowpages.com ® and DexOnline®. Why Are Local Search Engine Listings Important For My Business? Until recently, online local search engines relied on Professional web design crawling to capture information about local businesses. However, less than 50% of local businesses have web sites, so the local search engines now use partners like Localeze to provide them with robust local business content. And because nearly 2 billion local searches are performed each month, it's essential that the information displayed about your business by the local search engines is accurate and up-to-date. Even better is making sure that the local search engines receive the kind of enhanced information about your business that will ensure prominent placement in search results and motivate local consumers to contact you—information like the products and services you offer, the brands you carry, the hours you're open, payment methods accepted, and more.
