I have consulted with many local businesses here in Vancouver & the Lower Mainland area regarding increasing their overall local customer base. Before the internet and Google, local businesses use traditional means of advertising ie. local newspapers, radio ad buys, direct mail etc.
Now, more and more than ever, businesses are redistributing their marketing budget to a more balanced online marketing plus the traditional offline advertising methods. In fact, some of our existing clients are not even spending a dime on traditional offline advertising methods and instead, spend 100% of their marketing budget on developing an online marketing strategy.
Here is an excellent article on “Why Local SEO Is About to Become Even More Important”
