Last week, Google acquired Zagat (perhaps the first restaurant review guide to rely on crowdsourcing) for a reported $125 million. Established in 1979, Zagat originally published reviews of local restaurants and later added reviews of other local businesses such as movie theaters, nightlife and retailers. Google estimates that about 20% of its daily searches are for local businesses and when mobile search is factored in, the percentage is even higher. Local online advertising is a very lucrative and rapidly growing market.
