Local Google Search: Google Goes Local

Mar

Google Local Search

Many other search engines think they have the perfect solution for advertisers. Some forget how far ahead of the curve Google is. Today Google launced a new local search at local.google.com. "For now, Google will not display local advertisements on the service, but it plans to do so in the future." - News.com

Google did provide hyperlinks to Yahoo! Maps and MapQuest when I search for "Papa Johns 16803," but you get regular search results if you try to find Carmen in San Diego.

Recently Yahoo! added its SmartView service to Yahoo! Maps.

I have been advocating local SEO for small business websites for years. I think it is pretty exciting to see this really coming. Website owners who get ahead of this will really have a leg up on the competition.
