We recorded early so Mike and Carrie could enjoy the 3-day weekend. Happy Labor Day!
Join Mike and Carrie as they discuss how to combat Google title tag re-writes, keyword research for local search, how writing bad reviews can backfire, another fantastic LocalU Advanced (don’t worry if you missed it, you can still get the sessions on-demand!), and much more!
Last Week in Local is a look back at the interesting and important articles from the previous week. It is 20-30 minutes long and covers critical industry trends, interesting local news, and tactical insights for anyone interested in Local Search.
