For example, a search on Google.ie as follows “online marketing cavan” yields the following results:

Online Marketing Cavan Google.ie Search

This is a massive boon to local businesses, especially those who have a website which can be displayed in the Google Local Business Search result.

So those business who may not have known how local Internet search has become will be pleased to find out that Google is favoring local business listings in their ever developing search algorithm.

Most businesses in Ireland are unaware of how uncompetitive local search is for their business niche. And this makes it even more tantalising to get into the online game. At a time when businesses are feeling the pinch and looking at new ways to market in a cost effective way, this subject is more relevant than ever.

I think I’ll write a post in a few days just on this subject.

Till then, take care.
