GPS Accelerators and Their Role in the Local Search Ecosystem<\/h2>\n

Location-based searches have transformed the way local businesses promote themselves online. Back in 2016, Google revealed<\/a> that almost one-third of all mobile searches were related to location. With the ubiquity of mobile devices today it\u2019s probably safe to assume this figure has risen.<\/p>\n

As the ways consumers find new businesses have changed, there\u2019s a greater need to expand online visibility. Consumers search for nearby restaurants, stores, plumbers, mechanics and a whole host of other services before making a buying decision \u2013 based on proximity, reviews and other metrics.<\/p>\n

As you will know, data amplifiers and data accelerators are at the core of this process. But more specifically, when it comes to ensuring that a client\u2019s location is findable, GPS accelerators are your most valuable asset. GPS accelerators ensure that no matter the mapping app, GPS or in-dash navigation, a business will get found.<\/p>\n

You may remember we discussed the importance of GPS accelerators not too long ago. We actually recommended the top five mapping apps and navigation solutions for local businesses<\/a>. Yes, there\u2019s a top five, but location-based searches take place across an even more broad array of platforms \u2013 which will only continue to increase.<\/p>\n
