I recently had the pleasure of presenting this slideshow presentation to an association of Realtors, and thought that it was content that was worth sharing for small business owners, and people not familiar with Local Search.

It is surprising to me that Google has maintained its status a dominant player in “local search”? Might Microsoft recently filing a trademark for Bing.com and Bing.net be their attempt to steal Google’s thunder? http://tinyurl.com/coy8pb

That Facinating Ron, thanks for the tip about Microsoft perhaps getting into the thick of Local… It would be interesting what they’d try to leverage to pull users off Google, and away from existing systems like YELP that have actually captured a community over time..

Funny that you did this. I’ve been putting emphasis on this with our clients. It’s definitely a valuable resource. The biggest problem I have seen is that Google pulls a lot of bogus reviews from outside websites that are quite spammy.

Hmm, I wonder what criteria google uses to select reviews then…
