Where 2 Get It CEO Manish Patel to Present at PELORUS Mobile Local Search Conference

Where 2 Get It, Inc., leading provider of location based services (LBS) that help consumers find products and services, online and locally, announced that CEO and Founder Manish Patel will be a featured speaker at The PELORUS Group’s second annual Mobile Local Search Conference, to be held Feb. 11 and 12 in New Orleans. “Mobile Local Search ‘09″ is wholly dedicated to the mobile local search phenomenon. For an industry on the verge of a major paradigm shift, the conference is dedicated to exploring how, where, and by what timetable mobile local search will develop.

Mobile Local Search is one of the hottest trends available to national brand marketers. Patel will present on “Reaching Consumers On Their Mobile Devices” which will offer an overview of the consumer buying process and real world client examples of how major brands are embracing mobile and local search. Patel will discuss how to leverage mobile and local search to reach consumers on their navigation devices as well as their mobile devices using location-based content that delivers a compelling ROI. He will also highlight strategic local search technologies that enable a brand to be found on major search engines, local search engines, and Internet yellow page (IYP) directories.

“National and regional brands need to leverage their location-based content for local and mobile search to deliver a compelling ROI. The basic question that major brands need to ask themselves is ‘Are we getting found where consumers search?’” said Patel.

The PELORUS Group states, “We believe 2009 will prove to be a milestone year as mobile local search comes into its own. Mobile carriers, handset manufacturers, search engines, on line directories, content providers, ad agencies, retailers, and the consumers themselves - the pieces have all been there, but the eco-system until now has been nothing more than a fragmented jigsaw with disparate pieces not quite fitting together. Now, the pieces are starting to fall into place.”
