This is known as searching with local intent.

Those businesses whose local search listings are missing key ranking factors or set up incorrectly will not
be found when potential customers search online locally.

You can't control how potential customers search and the terms they use to search online.

However, you can control if your local search listing has been properly set up in a way the search engines like so that your free local search listing is one of the first businesses found when a customer performs an online search.

Let's look at some key numbers:


The Landscape of Local Search

If you're not in the top 3, your business is rarely found online and searchers won't be going to your website. This means they probably aren't going to do business with you.

• Almost 100% of searches for bars and restaurants made on Google, Bing, and Yahoo are local in nature

• Over 1 billion local searches performed every month (and growing by over 50% yearly)

• 80% of people first search online before making a purchase

According to numerous studies:

• #1 ranked site gets 41% of the clicks
  
• #2 ranked site gets 12% of the clicks
  
• #3 ranked site gets 8.5% of the clicks
  
• Rest of the sites get the rest of the clicks

This means they probably aren't going to do business with you.


How Do Consumers Use Local Search?

• 66% typically find what they need when searching on the Web, though 39% have trouble finding specific businesses when they are not adequately represented on the Web

• 92% of Internet users have researched a product or service online, then purchased offline from a business at least once

• 82% say search engines are among the many tools they use to find local businesses

• With local search, people research online, and then buy offline

The higher your business ranks in the free local search listings, the more times your website is found, which means the more customers you will have.

Your potential customers are going to your competitors and spending their money with them if your website and local search listing cannot be found when they search for your type of establishment online.


Can't I Just Claim My Listing Myself and Be Good To Go?

If your bar or restaurant is showing up on the first page of Google, Bing, and Yahoo in the free local search listings, congratulations! You're getting potential customers to go to your website and to your establishment.

However, for most bars and restaurants, this is not the case. Just by claiming your free listing does not mean you will rank high on the first page of the free local search listings, or even on the first page.

There are specific ranking factors that each search engine looks for when deciding which local search listings will rank higher. If your listing is missing these or is done incorrectly, your listing simply won't rank high and won't be found.

Unless you make it your business to acquire the specialized knowledge on the many factors that make a local search listing rank higher than another local search listing and to monitor when the search engines change their ranking factors, you're playing a game you can't win because you don't know the rules of the game.
