Some of our Marketing packages include a Local Report document that is emailed to you as a PDF on a monthly basis. The purpose of the Monthly Local Report is to inform you on metrics relating to new business reviews, specific user actions that may convert a customer, and web traffic that has been generated by the marketing efforts attached to your marketing subscription.
