			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The landscape of search is constantly changing and it can be tough  for small local businesses to keep up with.  One of the most recent  developments is in the importance of being visible in local search when  local consumers are looking for products and <a id="AdBriteInlineAd_services" name="AdBriteInlineAd_services" target="_top">services</a> available near  them.</p>
<p>Consumers <a id="AdBriteInlineAd_today" name="AdBriteInlineAd_today" target="_top">today</a> are simply not  relying as much on print resources such as newspapers and Yellow Pages <a id="AdBriteInlineAd_phone" name="AdBriteInlineAd_phone" target="_top">phone</a> books that are  practically out of date by the time they hit the doorsteps.</p>
<p>We know that:<br />
74% of internet users perform local searches (Kelsey Group)<br />
80% of budgets are spent within 50 miles of the home (DMA)<br />
82% of local searchers follow up offline via an in-store visit, phone  call or purchase (comScore)<br />
Right now there are are well over 100 local search sources of  information <a id="AdBriteInlineAd_online" name="AdBriteInlineAd_online" target="_top">online</a> that Americans use  every day in order to make purchasing decisions such as what movies to  watch, where to eat dinner, what dentist to use, what plumber is  recommended, and what roofing company has the best guarantee.</p>
<p>These online sources <a id="AdBriteInlineAd_continue" name="AdBriteInlineAd_continue" target="_top">continue</a> to grow in  importance and popularity and yet many locally owned and operated <a id="AdBriteInlineAd_business" name="AdBriteInlineAd_business" target="_top">business</a> owners don’t  have the time or the experience on how to get their local search profile  information updated within all of the major local search services.   However, SEO experts know how to get local small business owners into  the search engines.</p>
<p>The local search SEO submission tool that many SEO experts are using  distributes vital local small business information to well over 100  local search services and directories.  These are sites such as Google,  Yahoo Local, Bing Local, YellowPages.com, and many more.</p>
<p>In a recent press release Darin Brin, SEO Specialist and Managing  Director of BizMash Inc said “Using XLindex.com is as simple as  completing an online form.  Plus, the time you save alone is worth  several times our local search submission fee.” Darin also said, “We are  extremely excited about the response we are receiving from all of our  clients.”</p>
<p>Local small business owners and managers are invited to use the same  website submitter SEO tools that many SEO experts are using today by  visiting: http://XLindex.com</p>
<p>The idea of <a onclick="pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/XLindex.com?referer=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.google.com%2Furl%3Fsa%3Dt%26source%3Dweb%26ct%3Dres%26cd%3D23%26ved%3D0CAwQFjACOBQ%26url%3Dhttp%253A%252F%252Fwww.fourpxarticles.com%252Finternet-business%252Fseo%252Flocal-search-seo-tool-helps-local-businesses-reach-local-buyers%252F%26rct%3Dj%26q%3Ddarin%2Bbrin%26ei%3D6XSgS9TSDoGmNtqSzK0M%26usg%3DAFQjCNHkPMTbZWwyFwCaiju0chh1C3gc0A%26sig2%3DccW9Z352bU-pOjCrBTf60w');" href="http://xlindex.com/" target="_blank"> local search optimization </a> <a id="AdBriteInlineAd_worked" name="AdBriteInlineAd_worked" target="_top">worked</a> upon by the team of  various seo experts and specialist is truly commendable.They implement  numerous (seo strategy) to <a id="AdBriteInlineAd_generate" name="AdBriteInlineAd_generate" target="_top">generate</a> an efficiently  performing <a onclick="pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/XLindex.com?referer=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.google.com%2Furl%3Fsa%3Dt%26source%3Dweb%26ct%3Dres%26cd%3D23%26ved%3D0CAwQFjACOBQ%26url%3Dhttp%253A%252F%252Fwww.fourpxarticles.com%252Finternet-business%252Fseo%252Flocal-search-seo-tool-helps-local-businesses-reach-local-buyers%252F%26rct%3Dj%26q%3Ddarin%2Bbrin%26ei%3D6XSgS9TSDoGmNtqSzK0M%26usg%3DAFQjCNHkPMTbZWwyFwCaiju0chh1C3gc0A%26sig2%3DccW9Z352bU-pOjCrBTf60w');" href="http://xlindex.com/" target="_blank"> local search engine marketing </a> for the benefit of all small  business owners and managers.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="font-family: arial;"><strong><span style="font-size: small;">Local  Businesses Use Seo Tools To Easily Reach Today&#8217;s Local Consumers Online</span></strong></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">Many local businesses realize that the days of relying on  Yellow Pages advertising are nearing an end.  They are now positioning  themselves where modern consumers are looking for local products and  services.  XLindex.com makes this easy for local businesses who take  advantage of the XLindex website submitter SEO tool for local search.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: arial;"><strong><span style="font-size: x-small;">SAN DIEGO, CA -  February 23, 2010</span></strong></span><span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"> – XLindex, a SEO tool created by BizMash,  Inc., helps locally owned and operated businesses to take advantage of  all of the new online and mobile resources that help consumers find  locally available products and services.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">With XLindex.com a local business can add their vital business  information to over 100 search engines and local directories by simply  completing one simple form.  The XLINDEX website submitter works behind  the scenes to update all local search directories with vital information  about each local business location.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">XLindex.com  includes local search submission to Google, Yahoo Local,  YellowPages.com, YellowBook.com, and over 100 directories.  “The time  you save alone is worth several times our local search submission fee.”  said Darin Brin, Managing Director of BizMash Inc. “We are extremely  excited about the response we are receiving from all of our clients.”</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">XLindex.com clients are already seeing results from this local  search website submitter. <span>BizMash has been using XLindex.com for the last six months.</span></span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">“</span></span><span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">It&#8217;s  important that local businesses start now to get their listings online  before the rush of local businesses to get online starts to saturate the  directories.  We expect local search marketing to increase by nearly  400% over the next 12 months.” Said Brin.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">Many others are making similar predictions based on consumer  behavior. </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: symbol;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">·</span></span> <span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">&#8220;Yellow Pages usage among people,  say, below 50, will drop to zero &#8212; near zero &#8212; over the next five  years.&#8221;  Bill Gates, May 8, 2007. </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: symbol;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">·</span></span> <span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">“</span></span><span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">73% of activity online is in one way or another related to  local content.” Google, May 2007</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: symbol;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">·</span></span> <span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">Last year The Kelsey Group reported  that 74 percent of Internet users perform local searches.  With the  adoption of smart phones with GPS, Maps, and a variety of local search  applications, mobile search is also going to increase this trend,  according to The Kelsey Group.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">Local Businesses  looking to use website submission seo tools for local search are  encouraged to submit their business now to over 100 local search  directories by visiting </span></span><a href="http://xlindex.com/"><span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="color: #000080;"><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">http://XLindex.com</span></span></span></span></a></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The opportunity was perfect for harvesting a custom-tailored, solutions based development company. My colleague and I both have Internet and project management backgrounds.</p>
<p>With a couple mergers and an acquisition under my belt, I wanted to venture into something new. In the past, the path was clear: pick products; create interest, market products, and then close in on revenue (and in my case, profit). That said, I don’t have room for the concept of being less than 110 percent committed to building the future.</p>
<p>I truly have a passion for creating things from the ground up, from “zero.” I had no funds and no key relationships in this vertical; only the hands I was given.</p>
<p>How does this relate to BizMash? BizMash is the brainchild of two highly motivated people. We’re passionate; we’re people who know “winning.” Every aspect of our organization is geared around finishing first and getting the prize. We’re completely dedicated to our projects.</p>
<p>Not only do we build and design your tool from scratch, we tailor it. There’s kind of an entrepreneurial spirit to that. My partners are that way too. We build your product, test it, modify it according to your specifications, and then we deliver it.  Most development houses don’t offer that kind of full-service attention to detail.</p>
<p>We see the mashup angle as <em>the</em> solution for the future.  We even drink our own proverbial Kool-Aid. BizMash is the proud owner of Howlatetoday.com and Howearlytoday.com, two projects that have evolved from our own way of doing things.</p>
<p>The dot-com bust of the late 1990&#8217;s taught us several things. Back then, funding was plentiful, however, solutions were slim. Companies built complex infrastructures that they didn’t need and got in over their heads. Today, the opposite is true: infrastructures and funding are lean and solutions are robust, but they are customized and easily manageable. That reality may not include a beach chair and an umbrella drink, but it will provide the good feeling one gets from having sound technology and a model that really works.</p>
