Thanks Colan and Phil! Great suggestion Phil, that looks like a great CTA for PPC landing pages as well. The plugin for that particular page is the WP Coupon Generator: WP Coupon Generator Plugin Although the aesthetics leave a bit to be desired. It puts in its own CSS overriding the theme's...

I disagree. I think Joy does indeed have a crystal ball. :)

Will there ever be GMB support for agencies, perhaps through the Partners program? Maybe a direct number to advanced GMB staff that are closer in caliber to local search marketers.

Watch all of the InsideLocal webinars.

This is a huge hurdle to jump, but clients who have tiny budgets have tiny expectations and tiny goals. Therefore, they're likely a waste of your time. That took me two years to learn. My advice before you get into the technical work: find your niche. Read books like Book Yourself Solid and...

Since it utilizes the Google API that you have to manually sign up for yourself, it's not duplicate content. Same goes for their Yelp and YP.com review widgets. I've compiled the conversations on Mike's post and an email conversation with Matt Cromwell, developer from the creator: WordImpress...

Have you tried it out yet? If not, it's a drag and drop interface to build the form and then you insert a shortcode where you want it to appear on the site. If you're not savvy with HTML and CSS, it mostly inherits the styling (fonts and such) of the site.

I have. I bought it on a recommendation when I was new to WordPress so I haven't tried anything else (and I really haven't used it much at all). Here's Chris Lema's comparison of forms. Choosing a WordPress form plugin: Gravity Forms, Ninja Forms, or Formidable Pro? I believe Ninja Forms is free.

Bringing this back from the dead. Linda, it looks like that was the last report of its kind. Thanks for sharing though, as I'm looking into picking a niche in this niche... Research and Reports - YP Is there any local search pros serving the construction industry that are active in the community?

I'm not sure there's a short answer to the question you're asking. It primarily depends on the business model of what a lead or conversion is. I suggest you start here: SEO: The Free Beginner?s Guide From Moz If you want to start providing local SEO services immediately, you can team up with...

Sounds like we're consistently in the same boat. Have you tried Raven yet? I started the trial but haven't committed much time to it yet.

I've read once about businesses using it for social media contests. e.g. place random items around before the shoot or ask people to "find the yellow thing".

Linda, from the link you shared to their G+, I see "people talk about" with no G reviews and one of them is "luxury massage". That seems like a good phrase to rank for, so I opened an incognito browser real quick and tried it out: "luxury massage sulphur, OK". Sure enough, top 2 results from...

Bill, I just signed up as an affiliate. While I try not to venture outside of Local SEO for services I provide, I see this (GenBook) as a cheap valuable resource that compliments what I do for at least 3 of my current customers. I'll update this whenever I experience something related.
