According to Darrin Clement, the CEO and Founder of Maponics, local search is, in fact, being redefined by the Web and mobile. The good news for users is that it is giving them more control to dictate what they want from local.

As Clement explains to WebProNews, local search is not just about latitude and longitude. The context of the search also needs to be included into the equation. Some people may be searching from their mobile devices and want real-time results, while others may be performing local searches for the next day.
