Last night, I attended a meetup for representatives from various creative communities here in Portland, such as the AIGA, PAF, and CHIFOO. Other concerned citizens of the web also attended the meeting, including Bram Pitoyo (@brampitoyo) and Amber Case (@caseorganic). A further meeting is tentatively scheduled for next week & we hope to be joined by a city official or two with some say in the process.

The awareness of Local Search has risen steadily among both business owners and search marketers this year, especially as Google has begun integrating “10-packs” and other geo-targeted results into a variety generic search phrases. Local results remain one of the most cost-effective ways for a small business to rank, but they’re also a double-edged sword: companies who had Organic SEO “figured out” are now seeing their former #1 rankings displaced “below the fold” by maps and local business listings. For businesses who rely heavily on geo-targeted search traffic, Local Search may be the most important area in all of online marketing.
