Yet another reason an optimized Google local directory presence is a must.

Thursday, January 29, 2009
Other than the obvious reason why it is important to have an optimized Google local listing.  It is now even more important because of 1800Goog411, Google's free 411 information line (which has been around a while).  Basically it performs the same function as a traditional 411 number; however, it is free and pulls the information straight out of their local listings and if your listing is number one for the users search terms and city and state then your business will be the first one returned with an option for an instant free connection to your business number at the press of a button.  And as more and more regulation cracks down on texting and talking on phones while driving, you can bet more people will be conducting searches via voice recognition.  Which I believe Google is quietly using the recorded Goog411 calls to perfect the technology.  The searches done using voice recognition on Googles system aren't giving an option on the results based on the normal organic rankings, but only the local directory listings.  So that is just another reason why an optimized local listing is important.

From Our Customers
We have been very happy working with Bernie and the crew at SMT. We feel that they have been worth the additional money and the return on investment far outweighs any other form of advertisement that we do.
 
We also find that the quality of client generated from the web marketing is more desirable as they seem to be more educated.
 
The other benefit is the flexibility. The financial commitment of the long term contracts of the yellow pages verses the dynamic marketing of the web is far more desirable. We can change our web presence month to month depending on our client load, instead of being locked into an expensive year long contract. For half to a third of the monthly yellow page expense we can generate the same, if not more, amount of leads. We have actually reduced our yellow page presence by 70% and will continue to do so over the next few years.
 
We have used other marketing companies in the past, but have never had the results that we have with SMT. Their response time is excellent, their expertise is phenomenal, their design team is exceptional and after working with them for the last ten years it has become almost effortless. They know what we need and want prior to us asking and we will only use SMT as long as we are in business.
