ADMAX is OFTEN asked "What makes MerchantCircle so special?" by local search marketing prospects and clients who detect a distinct bias in us. The best answer we can give is, just look at the latest news!
A new study by Quantcast ranks MerchantCircle the nation's fifth largest local directory site and Top 160 site in the U.S. overall. MerchantCircle, currently, is the largest and fastest growing social network of local business owners. Over a one year period, traffic to the MerchantCircle site has nearly doubled with unique visitors increasing by a factor of 2.5X. Founded in 2005, MerchantCircle is now the largest social network of local business owners in the nation, combining social networking features with a customizable web listing that allows local merchants to attract new customers. More than 15 million MerchantCircle business listings across the country are easily accessed on major search engines.

"We're extremely pleased that we've been able to nearly double the number of unique visitors who find local business owners through MerchantCircle to 17 million a month," says Darren Waddell, Vice President of MerchantCircle. "Not only are consumers finding the local businesses they're looking for, they're able to connect with local merchants through the MerchantCircle platform to access new deals and events."
Add a Twitter Turbocharge
To further increase local business exposure online, MerchantCircle also announced the first-ever local city coupon Twitter feed. The coupons, which can be built on the MerchantCircle site, are fed to city-specific Twitter feeds, making it simpler for consumers in specific cities to find and use the coupons.
MerchantCircle local business owners create more than 50,000 online coupons and events every month. Merchant-created deals and events are automatically posted to the new Twitter feeds to expose local merchants to even more potential customers.
"I'm thrilled MerchantCircle is always coming up with ways that make it easier for customers to find us," says Ken Mapel, owner of The Glass Guy in St. Paul, MN. "I can create coupons for free on MerchantCircle and they distribute them across the web. And now with the direct Twitter feed, they're making it even easier to find more local customers. I currently receive around 80 calls per month from consumers who have found me on MerchantCircle; I'm looking forward to this bringing in even more."
Previously ADMAX reported on the study conducted by Rapleaf, which found that 75% of business owners using MerchantCircle had no other local search or social networking profiles, thus making Web 2.0 History.
"We sign every one of our small business clients up for a MerchantCircle account to bring them more online visibility and better leads from search engines," says Lynnea Bylund, President of ADMAX, a merchant media and marketing agency and MerchantCircle Marketing Advisor, in Dana Point, CA. "Our business is presently the fastest growing company in its field in Southern California thanks largely to MerchantCircle - it's something I was already recommending to business owners. It has quickly become the cornerstone of our local merchant advertising service. MerchantCircle is a great way for my clients to make sure customers can easily find them on search engines like Google and Yahoo!."
Then Cross to the Consumer Side
And as MerchantCircle is throttling up, there is even more. Greg Sterling reported recently in his popular Screenwerk Media blog: "Now, in order to enhance the value proposition for SMBs, MerchantCircle quietly expanded into consumer content. The new program is called "Neighbors" and it offers consumer-users a profile and personal "dashboard" where they can connect with one another, collect coupons, track merchants, generate favorite lists and reviews."
Sterling provides a half dozen relevant screenshots at his blog that capture the new Neighbors consumer social experience.
"In much the same way that MerchantCircle has sought to create a social network of merchants, it has now begun that same work on the consumer side. But the object here is not so much to link consumers to one another as generate more interaction between consumers and merchants and stimulate demand, further activity and content creation. The content and pages populated by consumer-users in turn become more fodder for Google and SEO as well. The company appears to have hit some sort of inflection point with traffic from SEO," writes Sterling.
MerchantCircle has captured an important position within the Web 2.0 schemata...
...yes, ADMAX IS BIASED!

social networking is going to be an important part of local search, and when combined with reviews, ratings, and proximity scoring in a pure search environment, it closes the loop in the real world of mimicking local consumer behavior patterns.
the central issue (no surprise here) is one of advertiser adoption and user destination/partner distribution value... or better put, having enough money to wait these two things out, ~ because you believe that your product fills a market void and has staying power...
review and ratings aggregation in a social networking environment is a noble, yet challenging cause. we applaud their innovation and dedication to making local search work for the user, and therefore the advertiser.

Two issues - The first is scale, as in a massive, active user base willing to inform objective business listing with subjective opinions. The second is relevance, as in some way to ensure the reviews you are reading are not written by shills, angry ex-lovers, or crazy people. Facebook can address both of these challenges. It has a massive user base, and it’s networked, which provides all kinds of useful ways to vet the trustworthiness of a reviewer’s opinion. If Facebook jumped into the local search space I believe they could corner the market. But I think Yelp has actually beaten them to it.

Local search is about augmenting the local behavior and consumption patterns that are virally manifested in our everyday lives. It's with our local circle of friends, family, coworkers, and acquaintances that we share our experience and opinions. Whether you're talking about finding the best sushi, this weekend's street fair, or a reliable handyman, local consumption and communication are personal and, in many cases, originate from trusted sources.
On the Internet, local business information is readily available, but it's often static, impersonal, and removed from the characteristics of traditional local communication patterns.
These factors combine within a trusted social networking environment to further qualify the accuracy of search and the validity of business reviews. It's a natural checks and balances on the aggregation of opinion-based, user-generated content.
