And Google says these people are ready to buy once they are in a store, as 18 percent of local searches lead to sales, compared to 7 percent for non-local searches.

Google’s new study looks at local search intent and resulting action – what information people seek when they perform a local search or are on a particular device, and how that affects their decisions and purchasing behavior.

If you’re a local Hamilton business, this means it’s essential that your business rank in the Local Google Organic Search and Google’s Snack Pack (the Google Map Listings) because customers are actively searching for your product and services.
