Google vs YellowpagesOnce upon a time Yellowpages and other notable business directories ruled local business advertising. Then in the late naughties, there was a shift. Consumers realised it was far easier to search the internet to find the business they were looking for rather than a big alphabetical book.
Whilst there are 3 main local business search engines, Bing, Yahoo and of course Google - the most highly searched today is Google Places. Google Places has successfully captured virtually all local businesses into an instantly searchable directory, putting consumers literally seconds away. |
