Yahoo this week described itself to Forbes.com as “laser focused” on bringing local brand advertisers online. Meanwhile, Google’s director of mobile advertising, Diana Pouliot, told an audience at a CTIA-related event that a third of mobile Google searches are now related to the location of the searcher.
It’s no secret that local and mobile advertising are growth areas — Borrell recently projected that location-based mobile spending would grow to $4 billion in 2015 from $34 million in 2009 — but now both giants and startups are rushing to get their ducks in a row. Yahoo says it wants to bring on national chains like fast food restaurants that advertise regionally, but often spend just 1-2 percent of their budgets online. “Local display is about to take off,” Lem Lloyd, Yahoo’s VP of channel sales for North America, told Forbes.
