Description

Set up an ideal Google My Business local listing and dominate in Google Map SEO. For nearly all local businesses, the most effective local marketing strategy is local SEO (search engine optimization) and the most important part of local SEO is the Google Map 3-pack SEO which are the organic results that show up next to the Google map. In this course, I'll show you how to: 1) Get ahead of the competition in the Google My Business 3-pack ranking organically and for free. 2) How to run local search ads.

WHY LOCAL SEO IS SO IMPORTANT FOR LOCAL MARKETING

Local businesses tend to be things people want like gyms, cleaning, restaurants, etc. When people want something, they search for it. That's why local SEO is so important and why local business owners must obsess about local SEO to make sure they rank #1 for their keywords and remain #1. Many local businesses hire local SEO freelancers or agencies, but you don't have to do that. Just follow this course as I walk you through using Google My Business and show you how to make your business listing rank highly in Google Map SEO.

IMPORTANCE OF GOOGLE MY BUSINESS

Every local business must work on local SEO and the only way to list your business on the Google map is to register for Google My Business. After your free Google My Business registration, you will have your business listed on your Google map and compete in local SEO. Many of my clients got their businesses showing up on the Google map SEO the same week they registered for Google My Business.
