Once Upon a Time, There Was the Yellow Pages
Who is We are the Map™ and What Do They Do?
We are the Map™ is the local marketing division of SKY 1 TECHNOLOGIES, INC. We’ve earned our brand name delivering results-driven Local Marketing services to small businesses, franchises, and independent professionals in the Bay Area and across the country.
Founded by Matt Perry, SKY 1 TECHNOLOGIES has over 10 years of experience putting our internet marketing experience to work for small businesses. Our expertise includes local marketing campaigns via Pay Per Click management, SEO, full-service web and graphic design services, and now, most importantly, "Local Search."
"Local Search" is the primary focus of marketing on the Internet today and the reason We are the Map exists. Large companies such as Google, Yahoo, Facebook and others are building local directories that are reminiscent of the Yellow Pages, where consumers can quickly find businesses in their area by searching for any type of service. The key difference between local business listings and your standard Yellow Pages ad is interactivity. Online, the customer can learn more about your business, read reviews, download coupons, find you on the map, schedule an appointment or even make a purchase. The best part: all these extras still cost less than the average, plain-vanilla ad in the Yellow Pages.
With the advent of the iPhone and Android, smartphones are taking off like never before, and so is local search. In fact, 32% of smartphone users rely on local search directories to locate businesses near them. (Google) With demand increasing rapidly, local search providers are now pouring hundreds of millions of dollars into their local directories to deliver powerful interactive features that help consumers more easily locate reputable businesses in their area.
Realizing that consumers want everything right at their fingertips, Google has responded to this demand by including their local directory listings in the actual search results. Now, when people search for any business category on google.com, they will find everything they need to know about the businesses offering those products or services in their area. These results are displayed toward the top of the page in what is commonly known as the Google Maps section.
At We are the Map™, we are constantly working with these directories, learning their infrastructures and algorithms so we can always maintain the competitive edge for our clients.
According to Piper Jaffray, local searches are growing at 50% per month. You can’t afford not to be on the map, and at We are the Map™, we can put you there to stay!
