I have ranked 2 websites sites on the first page of for a local business that is booming. I will be sending out the letters to 8 businesses tomorrow.

Kinda going with the G places type letter where I have cut out the businesses ad from the local paper and the print out of G front page with post it's on it. But oddly enough this KW does not have places listings show up at all.

I was just planning on highlighting my sites and circling competitors sites in red.

Anyway I would like to end the letter with some facts/statistics that I have seen scattered around while researching this method.

Facts like:

• x% of people search for local business online before purchasing
• your business is X% more visible on the 1st page of G
• x% of people are searching online instead of using the yellow pages

type facts. I just quickly wrote from the top of my head (looks kinda silly now reading it) but I think it gets the point across what I'm looking for.

Could anybody point me in the right direction where these persuasive stats are?
