Local And Regional Trends
The World Wide Web is always going to be a global marketplace. We believe, however, that that most ecommerce will eventually be directed toward the local market. As Seo and Internet marketing professionals we follow marketing trends because it can benefit our clients needs. By watching the trends over a period of years, a number of interesting changes have be observed.
User Savvy
One of observations is that people appear to be searching using more specific, well defined search keyword terms than in the past. This is a result of users becoming much more search savvy. Single word searches are rarely used today. When they are used, it is usually by new or novice users. Searchers learned that single search keywords returned far to broad results for them. It then required them to make multiple search queries to find what they were looking for. Today most searches consist of multiple keywords. Some of the latest statistics reveal that the average search term is comprised of four search words.
Local Marketing Trends
As far as local marketing is concerned, it has grown enormously since the onset of Internet use. Many Web users now tend to put locations or zip codes into their search queries. If you do a search on Wordtracker or KeywordDiscovery tracking tools, and type in a city, region or locale, you will see hundreds of searches are being done that include the specific locales. Many businesses owners only want to target local markets, since they want users to come to the places of business, or desire face-to-face contact with their customers or clients.
Local Merchants
People are much more likely to use a local merchant, than one that may be hundreds or thousands of miles away. In addition, many people only want to deal with businesses that are near where they live. This affords them a greater feeling of security when they buy things or using a service. We have observed over the years, that the numbers of searches done this way have increased dramatically. We believe this will continue to grow.
