Content in Local Seo! Ideas?

[seranking]

Hello, there! I am not sure I created a thread in the right branch, anyway sorry for that. But I am newbie in Local seo and I really care about the impact of content in local seo. Is Content King in Local too compared to regular Seo?

Yep because in my estimation 80% of the local algo is the organic algo at least for the top of the pack, the A, B, C spots you want to get into. So it's like you have to do everything right or organic SEO AND everything right on the Places side to rank.

Here are some posts that will help.

More so now than ever. Not a bad time to enter the game as you embrace social signals, strong local citation players, reviews, etc., that were not such factors in the old days (like a year ago ) A steeper learning curve for you now but you won't be as insistent to make that square block fit that damn round hole. The puzzle is change(ing).
