LocaliQ’s Search Ads are powered by proprietary technology that
optimizes a single campaign budget across multiple search engines,
including Google and Bing, driving traffic to the best keywords and
publishers, resulting in the highest volume and highest-quality
leads for a customer’s budget. With the addition of Yelp Ads,
qualifying customers can reach Yelp’s high-intent audiences,
including more than 74 million people who search for goods and
services each month1. According to Yelp, 83 percent of its users
spend with a business they found on Yelp, and 57 percent of users
contact a business they found on Yelp within a day2.
“LocaliQ’s fully optimized search offerings enable our customers
to effectively and efficiently connect with their ideal prospects
and grow their businesses by bringing in more qualified leads at a
lower overall cost,” said Chris Cho, President of LocaliQ. “By
further diversifying the publishers included in search campaigns,
we’re giving our customers access to even more potential prospects.
The results of our pilot campaigns with Yelp have been impressive,
and we look forward to continuing to expand the offering to help
our customers reach their goals.”
LocaliQ began rolling out access to Yelp Ads to qualifying
customers in June 2024. Since then, 60 percent of campaigns with
Yelp have seen their cost per lead stabilize or improve while
increasing audience diversification. To add Yelp to their Search
Ads campaign, LocaliQ customers must have a Yelp business page with
the following: accurate contact information and business hours, a
short description of the business, a minimum of two profile
pictures, a website link, and a three-star average rating or higher
(businesses without Yelp reviews are also eligible).
LocaliQ leverages decades of experience as a leader in the small
business digital marketing space to deliver innovative search
solutions, including AI-powered search optimizations, for business
owners and marketers. LocaliQ’s Search Ads are search
engine-agnostic, fully optimized, and give small businesses the
ability to be where 98 percent of consumers search. Search Ads will
continue to leverage LocaliQ’s proprietary technology to manage and
optimize customer’s search marketing campaigns based on their
unique advertising objectives and budgets to maximize results.
