Next week’s SEMpdx presentation gets very specific regarding the local search ranking algorithm. SEMpdx is fortunate to have a new board member join us for 2009 who’s recently moved here from San Fransisco.
His name is David Mihm, he’s an expert in local search, and he’s agreed to give a similar presentation to the one he gave at SMX West in California couple of months ago.
If you’re with a local business and want to know some specific things you can do to rank your business better when your city name is used in the query, then this is one presentation you don’t want to miss.
Also at this event, I’m going to be on the 4 person panel for a mini – SEM Hot Seat event, along with David, Todd Mintz and Lisa Williams and we’ll be critiquing three websites.
Check out more info here, and if you come, please do take the time to introduce yourself.
Scott, thanks for your kind words. I’m so grateful to have been invited to the SEMpdx board & also to this HotSeat and I am really looking forward to both!
You bet David, I’m looking forward to it too…
Too bad this stuff happens all the way in Portland. I have not been able to find anything similar in Atlanta.
@Jason: Yup, we’re a friendly bunch here in the NW.
wow! its really cool that there is a new member to join you people. Getting an expert local search is really good.
Good going guys!
