Editor's Notes
- Good morning. It is a pleasure to be here in Dublin and to see so many faces. My name is Simon Greenman, CEO of Service Magic (aka) Home Advisor Europe. I have been around local, a long long time, and there is a fundamental question that has been bothering me – who’ s making money in local? It used to be easy to answer this question - consumers used the newspapers and yellow pages to find local businesses. Margins were monopoly like and the newspapers and yellow pages were printing cash in the billions. Today consumers have a plethora of choices from Google to Yelp and increasingly verticalised mobile first on demand local services. Investors are pouring in. Thumbtack and Porch have raised $100M; Handy $45M; Washio $17M; DogVacay $47M. And now Amazon, Google and newbies such as Curbside are trying to figure out the last mile of same day home delivery and pickup. Integrated local marketing agencies such as ReachLocal, Yodle, Web and Godaddy are fighting for the small local SMB marketing wallets. So who is really making the money today and who will make it tomorrow? So I am going to take a look at the local landscape of companies, business models, and investment and try to work out where the money is flowing.
- I have 20 years wearing two hats – (1) an operator and (2) by night, or rather a hobby, an investor in local digital copmanies. I wanted go through above in detail but I spent about ten years in the US and Europe with European Directors and DexMedia as Head of Digital leading the transformation of directories businesses form print to online. I was lucky to get involved in the Internet in the early days when we sarted MapQuest the first local search service that ushered in the era of Google Maps that you use today. On the investing side I am an advisor to DN Capital, a European – Californian VC whos most notable investment is Shazam. I also am very active in the Local startup ecosystem as an angel investor and a Director of an angel group. A few of the investment that I sourced and / or invested in are below.
- This slide is courtesy of BIA/ Kelsey. But it kind of sums up the question I have been trying to answer. Who’s making money? And where’s the money being invested? There are just a whole hell of a lot of new companies in local. There are payment companies, referral management, video adveritsing, social rep management, loyalty programs, mobile marketing companies, integrated marketing, local based services, SEO services, call trackting and analytics, mobile networks, local directories, sem, directory list management, landing pages and websites, ecommerce. There are hundreds of companies. But who is making the money.
- It all used to be so simple…the newspapers and yellow pages made money…
- This is somewhat anecdotal and not comprehensive, but there seems to be
