Long Tail Matters in Local Search

“LONG TAIL” KEYWORDS GAIN GROUND

Research shows that online buyers are searching with more specificity than ever before. So, if you want to be found online youneed to find the keywords that matter for your bsinbess and include specific content on your website.

 The sales conversation, and your sales process, historically handled in person or on the phone by your sales and customer service teams, now has to take place online. Your website needs to replicate precisely what was once the sole domain of your staff. That “domain” now belongs to your website.

If your company’s products or services don’t show up in search results when buyers do their long tail search, you risk losing out to a competitor that has that information and does show up.

YP.com and AT&T Interactive Sold!

An affiliate of Cerberus Capital Management, L.P. (Cerberus) has agreed to acquire AT&T Advertising Solutions and AT&T Interactive. The new entity will include AT&T's The Real Yellow Pages^® print directories, YP.com, the YP^SM Local Ad Network, and the YPmobile^® app.

What's most interesting is that the business units generated approximately $3.3 billion in revenues in 2011, yet sold for a reported 950 million for a 53% stake. While of course both parties publicly claim how everyone benfits from this deal, business owners can only wonder what is happening to the once proud and growing yellow page industry.

Recent analysis shows Internet Yellow Page directories are experiencing a downward turn similar to their predecessor – the Yellow Pages phone book

Dear Business Owner,

Online Yellow Page directories are not in high demand with today’s more discriminating audience. This downward trend is evident upon examination of the Google Trends graph (Fig.1) shown below.

Business owners who want to achieve measurable results with their online marketing can learn more about the technologies that are generating measurable returns and new leads at www.urwaconsulting.com.

With Google’s dominance online, the advent of Facebook, YouTube, Twitter and other social media platforms, it would appear that any hope the Yellow Pages industry had in recovering lost revenue by channeling their focus to online directories may be short lived. Whatever claims are being made within the online Yellow Page industry, one fact is very clear, when you compare online visitors that use Google and other social media platforms to visitors using online yellow Page directories, the latter group is barely a blip on the radar as evident in the Google Trends graph (Fig. 2) shown above.

It’s a rare occasion when we find a small business owner experiencing a return on their internet Yellow Pages advertising investment.

We are seeing more and more small and medium sized businesses experience remarkable results with customized marketing plans that focus on search engine optimization (SEO), search engine marketing (SEM) and a well thought out social media strategy.

What should you do when marketing and advertising strategies are in such fluctuation and traditional methods no longer work?
