    Great stuff, it’s funny how the overall scope of local SEO really hasn’t
    changed anywhere near as dramatically as other parts of SEO has over the
    past year. The real keys are in those tiny details though, that’s where
    it’s changed dramatically (like from google maps to google+ local etc.)
    Love the section about the competitive local backlink assessment using
    advanced modifier searches. Good stuff as always Rand!

    Rand, I know the video is a couple years old now but curious about the
    comment you made about inbound marketing. Would doing some content
    marketing help give you a competitive advantage on local SEO at all?
