Must See 2017 Local Ecosystem Interactive Infographic is Live!

David Mihm and Whitespark have released the 2017 US Local Search Ecosystem infographic and it's a must see for anyone in Local Search. This highly interactive graphic shows you exactly how all the different data sources for local business info is connected. Don't let the image below be the only version of this graphic that you see. Click over and look at it in real time because as you roll over the different data providers you'll see how each of them connects specifically to each other.

David Mihm started this project in 2009 and as the ecosystem became more and more complex Whitespark took over. Use this infographic to quickly explain to clients the importance of having consistent business data online and to justify your NAP (name address phone) cleanup budget. Or you can leverage it to make citation building decisions along side Mary Bowling's The 2017 Local Citation Builder's Checklist.
