Understanding
Consumers’ Local
Search Behavior
May 2014
WHAT WE WANTED TO LEARN
Every day, people search for things nearby
by conducting local searches. These are
searches aimed at finding things near where
they happen to be. This may include finding
directions to a local store/business, checking
local store hours, or searching for local
stores that have a product in stock.
We wanted to understand this local search
behavior. Is it prominent? What information
do consumers search for when they want to
find things nearby? And, what potential does
it hold for advertisers?
To answer these questions, Google
commissioned two custom research
studies to look at local search behavior
across devices. This deck highlights the
research findings.

In total, 3,431 smartphone searches and 2,262

Google Study For Local Businesses - Understanding Consumers' Local Search Behavior Report - May 2014

  • 2. WHAT WE WANTED TO LEARN Every day, people search for things nearby by conducting local searches. These are searches aimed at finding things near where they happen to be. This may include finding directions to a local store/business, checking local store hours, or searching for local stores that have a product in stock. We wanted to understand this local search behavior. Is it prominent? What information do consumers search for when they want to find things nearby? And, what potential does it hold for advertisers? To answer these questions, Google commissioned two custom research studies to look at local search behavior across devices.
