Local marketing on the Internet is full of opportunities, but it remains a challenge to reach large local audiences using a single media channel. In digital media, consumers are finding local businesses through directories, search engines, verticals and other local media properties. Mobile and social media are also providing new ways for consumers to find and connect with businesses. To succeed in local digital advertising, publishers should look to distribute advertiser content to all of these channels, shifting from a destination site strategy to a network distribution strategy. Local Matters, throughout its history, has emphasized the importance of content syndication in all of its solutions. It has really been a pioneer in this regard.
