Google Search or Find in Yellow Pages Stats

[FreelanceSoftwareDeveloper]

I thought I read something either here or elsewhere online regarding stats of people who will search on Google for a local contact information before getting the Yellow Pages out of the cupboard. I can't seem to find it now though.

Does anyone have any information about this, if such stats exist? Or other marketing info that could be used to approach small businesses who currently don't have an online presence?

Thanks,

Matt

Thanks, that's the thread I was thinking of reading through it again.

Some stats in there but I think a good point is using Google Keywords Tool to get some real numbers such as x number of people searched for vets in your town last month.
