Local SEO Marketing is big right now. With the growth of mobile search, Google has made an effort to improve their user interactions with mobile devices and local search. But with this growth, there are a lot of myths associated with local SEO. At Site Strategics, we pride ourselves in our local SEO service and we go over a recent article by Search Engine Land that had the top 10 myths about Local SEO. We agree and disagree with a few of their myths. Watch the video above to keep up with our tips and reaction to some of these Local SEO myths.

We continue our series in how to remove a Google Penalty using the Google Disavow Links tool. This segment explains how to identify which links are bad and which links you should keep. Plus we give an explanation of anchor text and how that affects your backlink profile.

Hi Scott Gallagher, how do you define geo-exclusivity for a client? By zipcode, radius distance, something else? What’s fair for k/mo client? Thanks.

Mike Gelblicht
Hi Everyone,
I’m trying to chase down a problem. I have a client who has a wrong apple maps listing. I looked at Yelp and a few other places Apple may be pulling the data from and couldn’t find it. I used the report problem link in apple maps to update the address. I don’t know if apple looks at this as a suggestion and how long they may take.

Has anyone else had to correct an apple maps NAP issue and if so how did you get it done and how long did it take?

Scott Gallagher
