I want your opinion on local marketing product....

[levisolutions]

Has anyone run across a product they can recommend that talks about how to:

1. Keep up with the changes of the "Google Maps or Local Business Center Listings"?
2. Get the top spot in the 10 or 7 one line listings generally found above the organic searches on page one.


Assuming my customers business profiles are 100% complete and are built out better than the competition, and your site has multiple first page rankings in the regular organic index on Google's page #1, and is submitted to all biz directories with keyword rich - SEO optimized (double o) backlinks....

I am frustrated just recently as i had all these spots gobbled up with white hat SEO and now I am finding it a bit harder and sites with no SEO or links or PR are seemingly ranking tops in this coveted real estate... any thoughts?

Products I should look at?
Systems YOU may sell?

Thanks all!

Hello,

Have you checked out Chad Kimball's Local Maps Course? It's pretty good and gave me a lot of ideas. I've watched his videos several times now... You can see his course here - http://www.googlemapscash.com

Since I've already taken a ton of notes from them and no longer watch the videos I would be willing to sell my DVD for $125 which is half off the price on his website. I have option #1 where Chad mailed the dvd out to us. I like Chad's stuff because he tests everything himself instead of just talking about theories.

If you have any questions you can reach me at:

I think, for now at least, videos matter - it was images not so long ago. I wish I could give you a great answer to your question, but I can't yet. What I can say is that this situation just underlines the need for several lead gen strategies to be in place, including offline ones. It also means we need to tweak so what hits there are convert even better.

I think we're in a land of constantly shifting sands.

Here's an article someone posted earlier:

Why Google’s Redesign Could Be Good News for Social Marketers


Tim Castleman is running something (a WSO maybe) where he's teaching some method in a webinar next week that allowed him to get several sites into the top 1-2 slots on G's Places.

It's like $27 or something like that.

can't find a link at the moment. Sorry

pictures video and reviews are very important

I took Howie Schwartz's IM Leadership program last year, it was good but I can summarize it fairly quickly for anyone who doesn't want to spend the $1500...
