Google Search Update: More Local Results!

Google has officially confirmed that they have made updates related to the local searches that you see when you type in a keyword. Prior to this update, you would only see local business results and a Google Map when you type in a location with your keyword(s). Now, Google will give you local search results even when you don’t type in a location. Google determines where you live based on your IP address.

For example, now if you type in the keyword “pizza”, Google will give you local business listings and a map for pizza shops in your area. This is Google’s attempt to further give it’s users what they are looking for. They realized that many people don’t necessarily type in a location when they search, so they want to make sure users are able to find what they are looking for easily.

Microsoft Rebranding their Search Engine

Microsoft is planning on spending 80-100 million to rebrand its image in the marketplace around its search engine Live Search. They hired JWT, an ad agency, to run a campaign that includes TV, print, radio and online marketing. JWT is going to rebrand their search engine over the summer to showcase its new features. The campaign is not going to position Microsoft as a competitor to Google and Yahoo, instead it is going to take the position as offering a search engine that has more focused results. Stay Tuned!
