Marchex Issues Local Search Report, Starts Local Blog

Marchex, which recently acquired VoiceStar, launched 100,000 local search domains and is about to relaunch OpenList as a new, comprehensive local destination site, has issued a local report entitled “Unlocking the Potential of the Local Internet.” The document is a very good overview of the state of the market (with data) and the opportunity. Here’s where you can download the report. Simultaneously, the company has started a local blog called “LocalPoint.”

This article is part of Local Search Week here at Search Engine Land, a special look at local search marketing issues in the run-up to our SMX Local & Mobile conference next month.
