Looking for local internet search stats

skorpion · 08-07-2009, 12:49 PM

Does anyone know where I can find some stats to use in my marketing campaign for my offline consulting biz for local small biz owners?

Im looking for something like "XX% of local consumers are searching online for the services you offer"

Ive been searching but only can find overall internet usage stats...any ideas warriors?

Thanks will be given!

Maybe I'm being a bit cynical but why not just make them up? Your figures will probably be as accurate as any results you get in terms of local searches from SE's.

Or why not use survey monkey and get some replies and them extrapolate? That will be as meaningful as most of the reports that are regualrly quoted in the national press.

Or .. Why not ask your local paper what their circulation is, knock off 30% and apply that to the total local population to get a figure.

Hope that's helpful
