The ultimate goal of the survey is to understand the life on the ground for those working in the local search industry better and learn about the various local search marketing services that are offered by them from one year to another. After all the data and information is gathered, BrightLocal shares the results with the rest of the SEO community, with the intention of letting everybody benefit from their work.
With the survey now in its fourth year, 20 questions were put to almost 2,000 respondents (1,973 to be exact), which includes a mi of SEO freelancers, in-house SEOs and SEOs from local to international agencies.
Myles Anderson, the founder & CEO of BrightLocal.com, posted an article on Search Engine Land that includes some key data points and charts that answer key industry questions from the survey.
