The Crisis Facing Local Businesses Today

• Greater than 50% of mobile searches being done today have local intent
• The April 2015 "Mobilegeddon" update ensures that mobile search results will now favor those small and local businesses that have a mobile-friendly website, and;

• Acquisio's proprietary optimization algorithm to deliver maximum clicks and calls within any geo-targeted radius.
