An expert in local business marketing talks about the importance of being found online.

Arroyo Grande, CA, United States - March 8, 2018 /PressCable/ —

Far too many local shop and restaurant owners are relying on old-school marketing efforts and struggle when it comes to bringing in new business according to an expert in the field.

“Those local shop owners who still rely on phone book and newspaper ads to bring in new customers are hurting,” says a spokesman from FindUsLocal.com, an online small business directory that uses innovative technology to make finding local businesses easier for consumers. “We want to help spread the word that unless a local store, service business, or restaurant has an online presence, they are not going to attract much new business.”

That’s because today’s shoppers look online when they want to find US local businesses. In fact, recent studies have shown that 1 out of every 2 shoppers first look to local business directories when searching for local shops.

“It’s not difficult to set up a local business listing,” he says, “And the best part is that it’s absolutely free. All people have to do is go to a free small business directory, type in the name of their business, and then claim the listing. Next, they should fill in as many details as they can and save it. Then they should ask their customers to leave reviews on the local listing, and that’s it. They get more new customers from that free, 10 minute process than they will from an expensive phone book or newspaper ad.

New report tackles problem of governments' overreliance on consulting firms

Dependence on consulting firms is a growing trend among governments globally. Left unchecked, it can have a negative impact due to high costs or transparency issues. Such dependence came to the fore in France a few years ago, when the Macron government was criticised for its close ties with US consulting giant McKinsey. UNESCO's Inclusive Policy Lab, headed by Iulia Sevciuc, has established a new blueprint to tackle this problem. She spoke to us in Business.

AI Agents Are Rewriting the Rules of Lateral Movement

Security teams have spent decades asking whether an identity has too much access. AI agents raise a harder question: how can we determine which paths an autonomous system can discover, given the access it already has? A person may try several ways to complete a task. A deterministic application follows the flow its developer wrote. But an AI agent is relentless in its pursuit of done. In May

China’s Huawei trims mobile chip gap with Apple as Tau Scaling Law pays off: Bernstein

Huawei Technologies’ latest smartphone processor, the Kirin 9050 Pro, unveiled earlier this month, has narrowed its gap with Apple’s chips to about three years, from roughly four years in the previous generation, according to equity research firm Bernstein. The chip, which Bernstein estimated was produced using technology equivalent to a 7-nanometre process node, outperformed Apple’s 3nm A17 Pro in Geekbench 6 multicore tests, a widely used benchmark that measures how effectively processors...
