What This Blog Is For

Local SEO advice online swings between the obvious and the unusable. We write for the business owner in the middle: the roofer in Phoenix deciding whether citations are worth it, the clinic manager in Toronto cleaning up after a rebrand, the agency in Manchester that needs its clients' listings to simply be right. If a topic would help those readers, it belongs here — and if you have a question you would like covered, send it to us; reader questions set most of our calendar.
