"Google Local" Goes beta

"Google Local" Goes beta 02/05/2005 10:16 PM

Google has taken live on its homepage a new service for locating local businesses, which scours millions of Web pages and crosschecks the results with the Yellow Pages data. Google Local was previously part of the company's Google Labs development sandbox, but has now been deemed ready for widespread use.

One example cited by Google is using the service to find an auto parts store within walking distance. Google Local shows results on an area map, and can limit results to a specific distance from a user's starting point. For frequent local searchers, Google remembers the location in which to look.  Although the service currently only works in the United States and Canada, Google plans to expand its reach in due time. The company also expects to provide a way for businesses to add themselves.

Yahoo! Local Beta

Not to be outdone by all those other beta services on-line, as of this morning you can try the Yahoo! Local Beta. For the longest time, I've used Yahoo!

In almost all cases it's at least as good as YP, but usually a lot better. The ability to selectively...

Looking For Local Search

Looking For Local Search 02/13/2004 01:13 PM
A new study has found that when people are searching online for a place to buy something, approximately one out of every four is looking for a local retailer they can go to buy the product, rather than just looking for an online retailer. With that high a percentage, you can understand why the search companies are all starting to invest in local search offerings. What will be interesting is how this percentage changes over time. Will people become more internet focused (location doesn't matter) or will they continue to search out local stores (which may depend on the strength of local search options)?
