So, when was the last time you used the Yellow Pages? If it’s too long ago to remember, you’re part of a seismic shift in consumer behavior. Today, some 80% of consumers now turn to the Internet first, according to Forbes.
Another source finds only 3% use the Yellow Pages every day, while 67% said “never.” Yet another study reports 60% of searches for local businesses start online.
If it’s true for you, you can bet it’s true for your customers. Whether it’s a hair stylist, an auto mechanic or a real estate agent, we’re all far more likely to “google it” than look it up in a phone book.
