The Power of Mobile

The Mobile Evolution in here.  The local mobile searches will surpass local computer searches by the end of this year (2013).  The race is on to get these potential customers and clients.  After all bricks and motor business need to compete with there counter parts and if they are not mobile ready then they are leaving money on the table and loosing it to any competitors who have a mobile web site.

When will you decide to join the Mobile Evolution?  Google knows it is coming and spent a lot of research to show online businesses that it is here and business owners need to be concerned about it.  Google created a wonderful tool to show that the presence of mobile is changing the search landscape.  The site is called "Our Mobile Planet".  Google has hired several companies to gain these stats and allow anyone to build bar charts with the results.  Great site!  This is an example:

You can see that about 50% in both Canada and the USA have called a business off their smartphone search.  These customers are in the area of the business and are looking for that specific service or product.  They mean business for the local market and are ready to purchase.

This is very compelling for local business owners to consider a mobile solution for their web sites.
