  • 94% of smartphone users search for local information

While you were busy building your business last year... a remarkable thing occured, people began to abandon their PCs and laptops and rely on their smartphones for Internet access. 25% of the visitors to your website TODAY are trying to view it on a smartphone.

This smartphone trend was the driving force behind the creation of the "Flathead Business Directory", a smartphone-optimized listing of businesses, events, attractions and tourist information for the entire Flathead Valley.

  • EXTREMELY IMPORTANT, if you advertise offline, be aware that 66% of Americans have performed a search on their mobile after seeing or hearing an offline ad (newspaper, radio, television, magazines, etc.).  Source
  • Usage of QR Codes is increasing daily. You’re seeing them everywhere; newspaper ads, in magazines, outdoor billboards, brochures, business cards and virtually all print media are using ‘QR Codes’.
  • Do it for the link! Strong 'LOCAL' backlinks pointing to your primary website are one of the best things you can do to boost your site in search results. Over time, it can mean the difference between being on page one of Google or page 12 - and NOBODY goes past page one.
