. Using their "ground to web" patent pending search technology, TrueLocal.com is able to find brick and mortar businesses in local communities and give them a web presence. By providing local search options, users are able to go to TrueLocal.com and search for numerous products and services available to them within their local community. Only local businesses with an actual storefront are listed, providing the user with quick access to find the product or service they are seeking.

"Our Local Traffic Estimator Tool is the first designed specifically for local search," states Jake Baillie, President of TrueLocal. "We want our advertisers, no matter how big or small, to maximize their ROI (Return On Investment) The monetary benefits derived from having spent money on developing or revising a system. In the IT world, there are more ways to compute ROI than Carter has liver pills (and for those of you who never heard of that expression, it means a lot).  and this tool will allow them to see the best search categories and zip codes for their business."

The estimator provides such information as map clicks, or listing views, in relation to the most popular categories and nearest zip codes to the searched term and location. For example, a user can type in shoes in 60612 and the local traffic estimator determines the three most popular categories for this search and the five nearest zip codes to 60612. This allows businesses to accurately assess which categories and zip for which they should bid.

Potential advertisers also can see statistics for other features of the TrueTarget advertising program. For example: the number of times a TrueTarget or expanded listing was clicked in the last month, how many website clicks, driving direction requests, coupon clicks and phone calls made in the last month.
