Have you ever tried searching for a local company on Google and found the first five across the country? This happened to me recently. I wanted to find a lawnmower repair company so I typed into a search engine the name of my city along with the words “lawnmower repair.” I found out there are a couple cities with simliar names to mine and my search basically left me empty. I did find a great one on a new search engine format out there called “local.com”
This site is just like a search engine but it specializes in helping local people find local services. They have teamed up with Citysearch.com, Yelp.com, Yellowpages.com, and Superages.com to create a serach that is as extensive and specialized to area as is possible. For example, to search on the internet for services in my area is fruitless most the time. With local.com, my area is already recognized from my cookies and all I need to do is type in the service I need:
The Spray Doctor at the bottom is the one that I ended up using. They got my lawnmower working perfectly at a very low price. This bargain was made possible by local.com. If you have a need to find local services or deals, I challenge you to find any means better than local.com. Keep it bookmarked or memorize their url, it’s hard to forget. Local.com is filling a void of the internet: local services listed online you can find in a normal search engine format.
In our business of education, Local.com can help us connect students with services in their community. Especially if we don’t live in the area. Local.com can actually become a social services portal for teachers. Try it out and see if you find it as useful as I do.
