“Mexican restaurant near me”
At one time this was an odd thing to type into Google but not any more.
The smartphone has made it very common to type this kind of phrase into Google. Google knows where we are based on our Smartphone’s GPS and can tell us which restaurants with Mexican food are nearby.
If you’re a local business this means that you need to show up for these “near me” searches.
