Local Internet Searches. Nielsen // NetRatings survey results.

[Source: Greg Sterling of Search Engine Watch]

There were 2,866 survey respondents overall, 70% of which had used the Internet to search for a local business.

Local search query formulation:

  • 51% used a general service term to search (“dentist”)
  • 49% used a general service term and regional term (“dentist in Cleveland”)
  • 23% used a specific business name (“Dr. Bob’s Dental”)
  • 19% used a specific service term to search (“root canal”)

Search driving offline word-of-mouth

One of the most interesting findings of the Nielsen-WebVisible survey was that 54% of the respondents who’d conducted a local search within the past 90 days reported later referring a friend to a local business they discovered via search. Of the 54% making such a referral, this is how they did it:

  • 59% verbally recommended the business
  • 38% e-mailed a link to a friend
  • 3% wrote a favorable review on a consumer website
  • 1% other form of recommendation

Satisfaction levels high

Finally, among those who had conducted a search in the past 90 days:

  • 89% of respondents found search to be “somewhat effective” or “very effective” to find local services in their area
  • 8% were “neutral” about search’s effectiveness
  • Only a tiny 3% said their experiences with local search were “somewhat ineffective” or “very ineffective”
