Expected to be one of the most prolific developments in search engine marketing campaigns for geographically orientated clients or local businesses, the local search facilities allow users to develop campaigns that focus on either:

(1) Searchers within a designated area or

(2) Present results for companies within a geographic element to a search engine.

Looking at these in turn, the following exists:

• Searchers within a geographic area – Google, as well as other smaller engines, allows the searcher to target users within a geographic area by recognizing the IPAddress of the search and presenting back a series of results focused on that particular area.

 The advertisers have the option of specifying a geographic larger area by selecting elements such as ZIP code range (USA only on grid reference, or by city, state etc.

• Searchers With a ‘Geographic’ Element this search listings that have an element or factor within the keyword.

 This could be a phrase, such as ‘new York attorney’, that is relative to a searcher’s term.

 All of this is in fact already available to any company using any search campaign if performed in relation to the geographic area mechanism listed above.

 In using both in relation to an expensive term, such as the one listed in this paragraph, the costs associated with clicks from a national search will be reduced.

Local search is likely to be one of the contributing factors for the expansive growth forecast by Piper Jaffray.
