Written by Terry Van Horne
SEO Dojo Radio's Search Geeks Speak returns after hiatus with an all star panel of Local Search geeks! David Harry and myself interviewed three top Local search consultants Darren Shaw of whitespark.ca one of the top Local Citation Submission Services top discovery tool Local Citation Finder; Mike Blumenthal a veteran Local SEO Blogger and practitioner and Mike Wilton another Local SEO blogger and someone very knowledgeable in local lead generation as Internet Marketing Manager, Plastic Surgery Studios!
This Local Search Panel was excellent with great information on when and how to transition from your Google Places Page to a Google Plus Local listing, the role of reviews in ranking and how to ask for them within the Google policies and of course how to rank in Local Search results!
