Everyone uses their mobile phone to search these days. Whether it’s looking for a place to have a quick slice of pizza, or the nearest Home Depot for a bag of compost and six tomato plants, mobile phones are increasingly what people use to find what they want or need.

Local businesses have a great opportunity to get into search results if they follow a few simple tips from Brooke Snow in her article, Use Local Listings to Rank Higher in Mobile Search. Brooke concentrates on SEO for local business at Anvil Media Inc., a leading search marketing firm in Portland, Oregon.
