As each month passes, I find that cell phone carriers are phasing out “regular” cell phones. Walk into the nearest Sprint store and you’ll be greeted with a stunning lineup of the latest Smartphone devices with impressive online features. What does this mean for you and your business? Well it’s quite simple, people are flocking to mobile applications such as Live Search Mobile and as far as Microsoft’s reputation goes, this one doesn’t make them look so bad. Stay tuned because in the next few weeks, we’ll examine Google Local, Yahoo Local, Live Search Mobile more thoroughly.From past employment experiences, I have learned that due to some of the local SEO I did for various keywords such as “document scanning” & “imaging” + (location) some customers were calling and when we asked how they found us some reported that they were using mobile searches.
