Local Business Profiles

Local business portals are growing as fast as geo-targeted, local search marketing. Take a look at the Maps segment. In 2007, MapQuest was the leader with Google Maps making some progress. U.S. visits to Maps websites was up 12% and MapQuest was ahead, getting more than half of all U.S. visits to Map sites. However, Google Maps gained at a rapid pace nearly overtaking MapQuest in February, 2009. Since then, MapQuest has pulled away now enjoying 40% of the Maps segment to 35% for Google. Yahoo! Maps and Bing Local Live are 3rd and 4th respectively. Growth in 2010 is expected to continue.

Like Map sites, local business portals, such as Best of the Web have experienced tremendous growth. Best of the Web now has more than 20 million listings across their directories and BOTW Local. On January 18, 2010, Merchant Circle, another local business provider signed up it's one millionth advertiser. And sites like CitySearch.com have had tremedous growth in the area of local listings recently.
