Local Search - Statistics
Local Search Statistics
20% of all monthly searches on Google are for local businesses products and services (Source - Google April 2010). That equates to 17,600,000 searches monthly on Google alone. With Google having a 65.5% market share (Source - comScore May 2011) that means 26,870,000 searches are conducted monthly for local businesses products and services monthly on the major search engines including Google, Bing, Yahoo, Ask and AOL.
Major Search Engines, though, only account for 46% of all searches by consumers for local businesses products and services. 54% of all searches for local businesses products and services are conducted utilizing Local Search directories including as Google, Yahoo Local, Bing Local, SuperPages.com, YellowPages.com, YP.com, Dex Online, TripAdvisor, Facebook , Twitter, Yelp, Foursquare, MerchantCircle, Local.com, Matchpoint, Kudzu and TomTom navigation devices that InteractiveWest manages through a Local Search Distribution Network.
