Local Lead Generation in 2026 The Real Strategy (James Dooley x Mike Martin)

This video explains the local lead generation strategies businesses should focus on in 2026. James Dooley and Mike Martin discuss how agentic AI is changing search behaviour because people now use voice, chat and AI tools to find local services faster. They cover Google Business Profiles, local business websites, local landing pages and paid ads because these four pillars create the foundation for predictable local enquiries. The conversation also explains why GBP Optimizer matters because daily profile activity, review velocity and reputation signals improve visibility and trust. Mike Martin warns against relying on expensive broad PPC keywords because auction-based ads can reduce profit quickly. They also discuss Reddit, LLM optimisation, Meta retargeting and low-cost national ad campaigns because these tactics can generate local leads in less competitive areas.Where to Listen to This EpisodeLocal Lead Generation in 2026 The Real Strategy (James Dooley x Mike Martin) is available across all major podcast platforms.
