Why is Local Search Optimization Important?

Today it’s estimated that over 60% of all web searches are done using a phone. In fact, over 70% of searches related to food and beverage (aka restaurants and bars) are done on small devices. As a result, search engines like Google are now following a “mobile first” strategy, by indexing websites based on how they look and perform when formatted for smaller devices. If your site doesn’t perform well and look great on these devices you’ll pay a penalty.
