With local search so important, local organizations can have enhanced value. Chambers have been around a long time, but in the crowded digital environment they can be differentiators.

Anyway, Mary, thank you for your blog and let me know if you have further thoughts about chambers. -- Chris Mead, SVP, American Chamber of Commerce Executives Mary’s comment about chambers of commerce is most appreciated — and actually something I hadn’t thought enough about.

Here's a stat for you. In 2011, the Wheaton Chamber of Commerce here in Illinois had 100,138 visits to its business directory. That's 275 searches a day.
