As we know, local search is what most brick & mortar businesses are concerned with.

I have know Darren and consume his articles and content but I was still taking notes during the podcast! Key Takeaways: Local SEO is about making sure your business appears in local search. Google has become better at showing you relevant search results that are near your location. Google is mobile-first. You need to design your website for mobile by either having a mobile-specific site or have a responsive site. Organic SEO is based on the content and the links on your website. Local SEO adds reviews, citations (listing in business directory) and Google My Business listing. Citations Citations is anywhere in the web where your name and business address is mentioned. Be careful not to overdo or it will appear spammy. Note: If you use Yext, cancelling it will have major impacts to your listings. Reviews You can ask people to write reviews for you in Google by sending them a link. For Yelp, only ask active Yelpers for review. Otherwise, the review won't be credited. Tip: Connect your Yelp account to your Facebook account to find active Yelpers among your friends. Tips on how to check your local SEO Ask your customers to write reviews for you in Google. Build your listings online in the Top 50 directory website. Claim your business in Google. Increase relevant content in your website.
