Many small business hear the hype about Internet Marketing and wonder if they should be advertising on the internet. The truth is that Internet advertising can be very powerful if there are people online looking for the types of services you are selling or who want to research related products and services.

More and more people are using the Internet like a yellow pages these days, and with Internet capability on our cell phones now, it’s amazing to see that people can call a lock-smith to help them get back in their car, while they are standing next to it on the freeway, searching internet ads on their iPhones.

More than half the searches done online these days (more like 70%) have local intent – meaning people are looking for local businesses to serve them. The good news for advertisers is that it’s easier to reach local people because there’s not nationwide competition – there are just competitors from their own surrounding area, generally.
