Marketing Podcast with Phil Singleton

No matter what you are selling – hardware to legal services – people are looking online.

When someone turns to a search engine to find a source locally they intend to buy – perhaps today!

Any business that wants to thrive locally must get very, very good at local SEO. In other words, they must show up on the mobile device in maps, they must show up on the laptop in the “Google 3-pack,” and they must have a credible amount of reviews and social signals to convert the click to a customer.

My guest for this week's episode of the Duct Tape Marketing Podcast is a web designer and SEO expert, founder of Kansas City SEO Website Design, Duct Tape Marketing Certified Consultant and co-author of the award-winning book The Small Business Owner's Guide to Local Lead Generation. We discuss SEO, website design and the keys to getting your business to rank.
