LocalBizNOW is
looking to create jobs today, tomorrow and for the rest of the year.The Birmingham-based firm helps local business owners to
market goods and services on the Internet. It began aggressively expanding
throughout the U.S.
after Quantum
Ventures of Michigan took a one-third equity partnership with the company
in January. LocalBizNOW, launched in 2006, expects to create 50 new jobs this
year.
The company also became an authorized reseller of Google AdWords,
the search engine's online advertising platform. AdWords uses the
cost-per-click model, meaning businesses can select and bid on keywords related
to what they are selling and pay only when an interested user clicks on their
ad.
AdWords provides the lion's share of revenue for the highly
profitable Google. Kelsey Group, A
Princeton, NJ-based research company, predicts U.S.
interactive classified advertising, now at $3.9 billion, will reach $9.1 billion
by 2012 and U.S.
interactive vertical advertising, now at $100 million, will reach $5.6 billion
by the end of the same period.
As an authorized reseller of Google AdWords, LocalBizNOW is can
help local businesses tap into the power and reach of the AdWords online
advertising platform.
