/24-7PressRelease/ -- Local search engine provider
GenieKnows has chosen to bring in the help of a marketing guru in order to make local search more....fun.
Has
Seth Godin finally met his match? Surely not! Well the folks at GenieKnows certainly think so. This latest recruit aims to add more fun, flavour and humour to local search. Now I'm not talking about your typical headhunting here. GenieKnows has, in a rather reserved move, chosen to recruit from within...
Ok enough shenanigans. So who exactly is this new recruit? Well GenieKnows has introduced a Genie avatar character to local search - this is a fun slant on an already existing technology similar to the new Google suggest tool. GenieKnows.com now offers this playful character through search based on local queries.
This new humorous take on local search will provide users with suggestions based on local queries by way of a Genie. Try for example searching for
McDonalds in Chicago. This (well it did for me) returned a suggestion that I should join the local gym (I was going to anyway...). In order to view this just head over to
GenieKnows search engine sign up for an account and run some search queries when logged in.
