411.ca Brings More Canadian Innovation to Local Search
411.ca Unveils Features that Make Finding Businesses Near a Point-of-Interest Even Faster and Easier
(firmenpresse) - TORONTO, ONTARIO -- (Marketwire) -- 07/18/12 -- 411.ca, Canada's Local Search Engine, today launches tools that let you find businesses near a specific location, such as a street intersection, landmark or postal code. Known as proximity or point-of-interest searches, they reflect the new way Canadians seek information. "People often want search results near their home or close to a particular spot - not results for an entire city," explains Steve Curry, 411.ca's President and CEO. "Our new features give you those options, wherever you are in Canada."
Performing proximity searches are a breeze on 411.ca. You simply include a specific location in your search. If you're near the CN Tower, include this in your search query to see results around the famous Toronto landmark. After submitting your search, you get options to refine your results, such as limiting businesses to within 500m of the CN Tower.
The end result: less searching and more doing.
Working behind the scenes of these features is a smarter search algorithm. Together with 411.ca's intuitive new design, finding the best local businesses has never been faster or easier. While already an industry leader in local search and now one of Canada's largest website providers, 411.ca isn't satisfied with standing still. More innovation is on the way for people on the move. "Watch out for our upcoming mobile version of 411.ca that'll let you pinpoint businesses even faster and easier," Curry says.
