I was curious about how big an impact proximity has on #localseo in different categories... we know it's a huge factor, but is it equally important for everyone? Did a small survey on coffee shops, dentists, and law offices.

This was a fun #localseo case study to write, supported with original research -- how quickly can a GMB listing start to see ranking results? persuaded.io/blog/improve-go…

Starting to think GMB reviews are a lot like link anchor text. Stuffing keywords might boost your rankings, but Penguin is always watching. But is anybody/anything watching reviews?

Checking local SERPs (accurately) from anywhere is tricky, but Mobile View beta is coming soon for Persuaded.io. Double check your geo-rank grids with mobile phone view (both Local Pack & Maps).

We just recently added localized keyword data (traffic + CPC) to Persuaded.io, and this post shares a bit about how that works. Be forewarned, some #Python involved! persuaded.io/blog/keyword-re…

This was my first chance to work with the @dataforseo API, and I really recommend it! Good docs, and also really like the pay as you go structure.

If you're not sure keywords to use for your #localseo grid scan, well, we can suggest some now! And, the search volume/CPC is localized, which I'm pretty excited about (in the U.S. at least... will expand that in future).

Any #localseo experts have ideas on what to try / how to help this business owner? Has great reviews, but his listing has been dropping since beginning of April. localseocommunity.com/c/hows…

I guess sometimes links aren't everything. Been following the back & forth #localSEO battle for the term "divorce lawyer" in Chicago, and the previous number one is now down to 6th, despite adding a bunch of links recently.

The battle for #1 took an odd turn a while ago.. The top result has a review rating of 3.5 with 26 reviews -- and a quick look at their backlinks doesn't reveal any secret sauce. I can usually tell why a GMB listing ranks, but not this one!
