Do You Search Google “Near Me”?

According to Google, you aren’t the only one! Over the past year searches from a mobile device with “nearby” or “near me” have nearly doubled from the previous year. It’s cool to note that 80% of those searches came from a mobile device. As a local Sarasota SEO company, we know how important it is for you to be ranking high in those search results!

You will probably begin to notice the amount of “near me” search results that Google will begin auto-suggesting on your phone.

What does this mean for you? Ultimately, an easier search engine experience! Since Google is hoaning in even more on these “nearby” searches, you can bet that wherever you are & whatever you are looking for will be quite simple to find!

Google’s Chief Business Officer, Omid Kordestani, commented on the release of the new mobile ad product, Nearby Listings. This product will show users up to 4 local businesses in an easy to read format that includes a quick button for “directions” & “call.”

As great as this will be for users, it is even more important that your businesses website be mobile responsive as well as properly optimized so that you can gain the local business you are searching for! Need help creating a mobile friendly site? Contact RizoTech today!
