Who wins in Local Search?

Posted by Marko | Filed under Uncategorized

Just to clarify local search is when you search for something in a specific area. A good example would be if I was looking for a “Web Design Company” and wanted to find one in “San Diego, CA” I would search “Web Design San Diego”. Now look at these numbers… See anything shocking? Yea me too, Google is ahead of Yahoo! by only .6%! I was shocked when I first saw this simply because I just assumed Google being, well Google would dominate in most areas of search. Look at the numbers and let me know what you think.

    I am very surprised by this news. When I started reading the article I assumed Google would be ahead by at least 5%. But wow… only .6% here… well I guess this is a lesson learned that for some things we have to pay attention to other search engines too; not just the great Google Monster.

    Cheers,

    What if you were doing local search for “san diego mortgages“? That might get a little competitive.
