Today, Local Corp., a leading online local media company, announced that they have released an updated and optimized mobile-enabled version of its flagship local search site, Local.com.

The mobile site allows users to quickly and easily search for local products and services from their mobile device. Users can use the site’s geo-tracking technology to search for businesses near them based on their current physical location.

The new optimized site features a simplified user interface and “app-like” navigation, as well as an easy click-to-call function. Users can use the site to see relevant local business information, including ratings, reviews, photos, logos and maps and directions to quickly locate their desired destination.

“Consumers are accessing local information from their mobile devices more than ever before. Mobile visits represent nine percent of the total visits to Local.com, which is up nearly tenfold from a year ago,” said Mark Wallin, vice president, product, Local Corp. “The optimized version of our mobile site provides our users with a superior local search experience that they can use anytime, wherever they are.”

Overall, more than 88 million mobile subscribers accessed local content on mobile devices in September 2011, which was up 28 percent from a year ago.
