WHAT MAKES THIS EBOOK PRACTICAL
This is built around 30 specific local SEO tricks, not a general discussion of local marketing.
You get practical checks, examples, scripts, templates, checklists and routines covering your Google Business Profile, reviews, website, directories and advanced GBP features. The book also includes a 30-day action plan, with tasks arranged across four weeks so you can work through the system step by step.
Most of the GBP-focused work can be done yourself with a phone, patience and around 20-40 minutes a day, while the book also identifies situations where outside help may be useful, such as technical website changes or managing multiple locations.
