Voice Search Optimization: When Local Gets Vocal Voice Search Optimization: When Local Gets Vocal September 8, 2008by Andrew ShotlandiPhone Local , Local Search , Mobile Search , Online Maps , Online Reviews4 Comments I have been using an iPhone for the past two weeks and it’s pretty clear to me that the only thing that is going to stop me from using it more and more to find things is a fatal car crash.
