According to Google, approximately two thirds of all adult Americans now use the web on a regular basis - and they
spend one third of that time searching for information via the Internet.
About 70 percent of Google users seeking information about a merchant are primarily interested in local results, said
Marissa Mayer, Google's director of consumer Web products. "People like to find and buy things in their neighborhoods."
For decades, printed directories and newspapers have been the resource of choice for finding information about local
businesses. With the introduction of the Internet, consumer behavior has changed and a growing number of them prefer
the speed that the Internet provides.
According to industry analyst firm Kelsey Group, online directory lookups could surpass print directory lookups within the
next three years. And about 25% of all web searches are searches for local businesses close to the consumers' home
or workplace. As the BlackFrederick.com Directory grows, as will the expanding key words that will drive more visitors to
the website and in turn to your business.
BlackFrederick.com offers Frederick county businesses and Churches a competitive edge to the current directories
highlighting area businesses, because it caters to the African-American market. BlackFrederick.com is tipping the
scales in favor of businesses by helping them locate and serve a targeted market looking specifically for those servicing
the African-American Community.
Unlike printed directories, with BlackFrederick.com, you aren’t locked into the published listing for the year.
Listings are approved by you and can be changed or updated at any time. If your phone number changes, you move or
obtain a website that you would like to list, you may edit your listing at any time for free.
Even if you don't have a website, you should not overlook the fact that 25% of people are looking for local businesses
online. That is one in four people!
Small businesses can now advertise like big businesses at a far lower cost than ever before. This maximizes the
Return on Investment (ROI) of their advertising dollars, because they focus only on their target market and get potential
customers who are actually looking to purchase, not just those surfing the web and happening on something they saw.
This is where geographical searching comes into play for local businesses.
It is advantageous to tap into the worldwide consumer market through the Internet. With simple and affordable
advertising resources, you can make your products and services available to current residents of Frederick, as well as,
