Everyone consults a search engine these days before they make any decisions about what or where to purchase a particular product they’re looking for. Equally as common is a customer searching for your business if they’ve recently heard about you.

Customers interested in making a purchase:

91% of Internet users search for stuff
30% of all search queries contain a city, state, or zip code
2.6 billion local searches are conducted each month

But that’s not all…user-generated local rating sites have exploded in popularity in the last few years along with social media, small business directories, and of course, local search engine optimization.

UGONET has the unique ability to aggregate and leverage all of these mini-site assets that when properly and full maintained and lauched, will boost your local SEO visibility and results.

Google Places Statistics are Staggering, Local Search Optimization More Relevant Than Ever

Local search optimization services from UGONET can rank your business in paid, local, and natural search results

Google offers is the leading search engine, no question. The search giant’s flagship local search product, Google Places, has been around and available since July 2010, but many small businesses still have no idea what Places is, much less took the time to add and optimize their listing on it. But the local search statistics that Google has recently released are truly staggering.

Google now says 20% of all searches are geographical (in other words, contain keywords for a particular city, state, town, or area). Internet search data statistician comScore reports at least 14.3 billion searches are conducted through Google each month…that equates to nearly 3 billion local search queries.

Here are some more juicy Google stats:

Google Places has logged more than 5 million business listings, most of which were claimed by business owners who know nothing of search engine optimization
About 2.3 million listings have been claimed in the United States alone
Google generates Places Pages automatically. They currently have nearly 50 million Place Pages waiting to be unlocked by business owners covering all types of businesses, organizations, and places ranging from mechanic shops to parks
Google Place Pages are viewed millions of times each day – so local search optimization is a crucial part of any SEO campaign.

Are these statistics surprising? Not for us at UGONET. Local search optimization is an undeniably powerful tool and a necessity for any serious businesses web campaign. If local search queries are generating 20% of all searches, it’s time to ask yourself: are you leveraging the web assets that are available to you? Does your company have a weak, static website or a web asset that is vibrant, interactive, and being found in search results, locally and nationally?

With UGONET’s local search engine optimization package services, we market your company to your targeted audience. Here’s some other features Google Places offers to help us reach our goals with out clients:

Businesses that serve clients throughout a geographic area can now mark those areas. In other words, if you serve all of Palm Beach County, Florida, we can mark that area. But if you serve Palm Beach County and Broward County, we can mark both of those areas.
“Tags” are available for $25 a month and are offered through Google Places. They allow small businesses to promote their services, products, offers, or discounts in search results pages. Tags help your listing stand out by attaching a little yellow tag to your local search listing. However, tags are only available in certain metropolitan areas.
Google offers free photography services! It’s true – we can request Google to send a photographer to your businesses in select area to shoot photos of the inside or your location.
Have you heard of QR Codes? They’re customizable little square bar codes that when scanned with a smart phone app, launch a particular website. We can generate a QR Code for you Google Places Page and then distribute that Code on your marketing materials. So when customers get a pamphlet, business card, or flyer for your company, they can scan the code and the code will launch your Places Page right on their phone!

Google has bet big on local search. Isn’t it time your business does too? Get started with local search optimization, generate quality traffic to your site and business, and grow your revenues with UGONET!
