Search & local discovery
Local searches performed on mobile
70% of local search queries come from a mobile device, meaning local intent is disproportionately mobile.
A long-standing Google / Think with Google benchmark from the mid-2010s; mobile's share of local search has stayed dominant since, and climbs even higher for pure 'near me' queries.
