  2. Hey Melissa CurtissHere From Web Marketing Partners.com www.webmarketingpartnersblog.com

  3. “Approximately one in every three mobile searches is local.” “By the end of 2013, more people will access the Internet via a mobile device than through a PC.” “Google mobile search volume has increased 500 percent over the past two years and continues to accelerate.” ~The above quotes taken from Advertising Age Magazine. www.webmarketingpartnersblog.com

  4. What does this mean for businesses? It means that businesses need to take a fresh look at what they are doing. How are they reaching, reacting and serving their customers. www.webmarketingpartnersblog.com

  5. The first change almost all businesses have to make is to focus on mobile communications and mapping. Mobile devices and local markets support more searches for products and services than do desktops and laptops. www.webmarketingpartnersblog.com

  6. Mobile platforms can be a low cost and can be efficient way to reach your customers, if used correctly. Mobile text, applications for smart phones and tablets as well as maps are all essential tools businesses should be using now. www.webmarketingpartnersblog.com

  7. Perhaps the greatest change businesses that are missing the migration to mobile communications are falling behind. The old world of the yellow pages and landline phones is very much in the past. www.webmarketingpartnersblog.com

  8. The consumer is now using his/her mobile device as their prefer means of communication, and it’s tied irrevocably to maps and location. www.webmarketingpartnersblog.com

  11. Also make sure Google is listing your business in local maps, if you are a locally based business, or serve a specific geographic area. A free Yelp account and a Google Plus Local account will take care of this. www.webmarketingpartnersblog.com

  12. Make it easy to call, message or email your business, highlight a phone number and a smart phone app for Android or iPhone maybe a very good investment. www.webmarketingpartnersblog.com
