The surge in Google's 'near me' searches, especially among mobile users looking for immediate, location-specific results, has created fresh opportunities in local commerce. Google reports a staggering increase of over 500% in mobile searches containing the phrase 'near me' over the past two years, with approximately 240 million such searches happening worldwide every month.
To harness this trend, One Call has launched a Super App in Dubai, featuring 100 million business listings across 3,000 categories. This platform not only consolidates a wide range of services but also links consumers with businesses instantly. One Call's Super App is designed to be more than just a directory; it aims to be a complete solution encompassing everything from grocery stores and restaurants to pharmacies and retail outlets, ensuring users can find what they need, whenever they need it.
According to Gohar Sultan, the Founder of One Call, the platform is built to scale and serve various economies globally, positioning One Call as a frontrunner in the 'near me' economy. The app has rapidly become a preferred platform for users in the USA and UK looking for quick access to a broad range of services. In the UAE, One Call has become a vital tool for discovering nearby services, from finding an open pharmacy at night to reserving a table at a popular restaurant. These successful market entries underscore One Call's potential for global expansion and scalability.
By aggregating over 3,000 categories, One Call meets the immediate needs of users while offering businesses a robust platform to reach their target audience. The app utilizes advanced geolocation technology to connect users with nearby businesses, enhancing convenience and satisfaction. Additionally, One Call's Discount Voucher model not only boosts foot traffic to businesses but also fosters long-term consumer loyalty through personalized offers that encourage repeat visits.
