Google Recognizes Yodle with the North America Premier SMB Partner "Mobile Champion" Award for the Second Consecutive Year

NEW YORK, Jan. 27, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Yodle, a leader in local online marketing, today announced that it has won the 2013 Google AdWords™ Premier SMB Partner Award in the Mobile Champion category.  Google recently honored Yodle for the second year in a row for the company's continued industry leading focus on optimizing mobile ad spending.  This is just the latest recognition that Yodle has received for its mobile solution after being included in the prestigious CIO 100 for developing and rolling out mobile media buying, ad distribution and website optimization to its 40,000+ small business customers.

"Industry analysts predict that 2015 will mark the first year that a majority of local searches are conducted on mobile devices.  Despite this trend, Yodle's First Annual SMB Sentiment Survey found that 90% of small business owners still don't have a mobile-optimized website," said Court Cunningham, CEO at Yodle.  "We are committed to providing our customers with a strong competitive edge, and are honored that Google has recognized us again for the value that we deliver in mobile."

Yodle was designated as "Mobile Champion" from amongst Google's 22 AdWords Premier SMB Partners in North America. The Google AdWords Premier SMB Partner Program (PSP) connects Google's trusted and experienced AdWords partners with small- and medium-sized businesses that want expert help in creating, managing and optimizing their online advertising campaigns.

"The Google AdWords Premier SMB Partner Program was created to help small- and medium-sized businesses who don't have the time or resources to manage their advertising campaigns," said Howard Tung, head of Google's Americas SEM Channel Sales Partnership. "Our PSP partners like Yodle offer expertise, experience, and end-to-end customer service so business owners can focus on running their businesses."
