LocalBizBits Local Search Marketing Information and Resources
After reading all that I did on the conference, I spent some time pondering it all.
The other website I would recommend you to read on the SMX Local Search conference is Andrew Shotland’s blog on local search optimization. Andrew was to be the official reporter for LocalBizBits but in his own words, he was “schmoozing most of the time.” He was able to provide me with a few thoughts.
“For the local search professionals it was a good time for relationship building and business development (as most conferences should be) and for the for small biz it was good for getting a broad picture of the landscape, opportunities and key players in local search.”
Also “One tidbit I heard in one of the mobile search panels was that you should have your entire address on one line so that it can be recognized as an address in a mobile browser but you should also have it in the more traditional mailing address format on the same page for Web SEO.”
Andrew did put together some informative posts on his blog:
