Raise Google Local Rankings by Optimizing All Your Local Search Listings
Last night I attended a Great SEMpdx presentation “Local Search With David Mihm”
David treated us to some very interesting information on Google local search, the major players in the local listings game, and techniques to raise our local search results.
