ShopLocal has built a very interesting product that creates search ads dynamically on behalf of retail clients. However these adds have rich, specific copy and corresponding landing pages that reference local stores and deals. According to SL, the “SmartSearch product allows for fully automated, localized search engine marketing (SEM) on both Google & Yahoo!.”

ShopLocal is also working with Yahoo! on display advertising across the Yahoo! network that leverages the latter’s SmartAds platform for dynamic creative tied to targeting parameters.
