www.ShoutStand.com ©2010 L OCAL S EARCH M ARKETING If you have a local company like a restaurant, plumbing or salon where you primarily target potential customers only in your local market place then you MUST target with “Local” in mind. In a nutshell, local search is the Internet's version of the phonebook…Steroids! The difference is that this phone book, the Internet version, is far more faster, more dynamic, and far more intuitive.
