Course Description

Set up an ideal Google My Business local listing and dominate in Google Map SEO.

For nearly all local businesses, the most effective local marketing strategy is local SEO (search engine optimization) and the most important part of local SEO is the Google Map 3-pack SEO which are the organic results that show up next to the Google map.

In this course, I'll show you how to:

1) Get ahead of the competition in the Google My Business 3-pack ranking organically and for free.

2) How to run local search ads.

WHY LOCAL SEO IS SO IMPORTANT FOR LOCAL MARKETING

Local businesses tend to be things people want like gyms, cleaning, restaurants, etc. When people want something, they search for it. That's why local SEO is so important and why local business owners must obsess about local SEO to make sure they rank #1 for their keywords and remain #1.

Many local businesses hire local SEO freelancers or agencies, but you don't have to do that. Just follow this course as I walk you through using Google My Business and show you how to make your business listing rank highly in Google Map SEO.

IMPORTANCE OF GOOGLE MY BUSINESS

Every local business must work on local SEO and the only way to list your business on the Google map is to register for Google My Business. After your free Google My Business registration, you will have your business listed on your Google map and compete in local SEO. Many of my clients got their businesses showing up on the Google map SEO the same week they registered for Google My Business.

Short and straight to the point. I was worried this course would be overly complicated and get the runaround like a lot of videos on YouTube. There was no sales pitch just good actionable information. I am looking to start a Local SEO/Google ads service and this helps towards me achieving that goal. I feel confident in my abilities to practice this service and possibly make it my business. Thanks for skipping all the fluff

very bad everybody knows that, here is no information how to do local seo, how do do map citation etc

By Tyler Hays on 4/3/2021

Alex, you're the man! Great course! Urgent question for you... I operate a Bitcoin ATM company called, (DBA) InstaBitATM... I need help understanding what I should name all of my business locations. 'InstaBit' is used by a few other companies. Also, do I NEED to have, 'Bitcoin ATM' after my business name for people to find me? So,'instabitatm Bitcoin ATM' doesn't make sense. Instabit ATM doesn't say, "bitcoin atm" which is what I'm asking if I need... or could I do, 'InstaBitcoin ATM' and still get very high search results when people search, "Bitcoin ATM"... I've been unable to find the answer to this nuanced question. Please let me know!

I find this course very interesting. Being able to send a clear signal to my customers that I'm available in the local area and being able to do so effectively can be something of tremendous value to my business.

This course has taught me a lot of techniques in Local SEO Strategy for my "Real Estate Business". Thank you to all people behind this, especially to the instructor Alex in this course :)

By Julien Garbe on 7/16/2020

Information complète et relativement rapide des stratégies pour promouvoir son business avec le local SEO. La présentation est très claire, et l'anglais n'étant pas ma langue maternelle, c'est très compréhensible, notamment avec le sous-titrage (généré automatiquement, il y a certaines erreurs. Thanks Alex !

Such a GREAT COURSE! I am so glad I took it. I am a tax office and having a strong local rating is Crucial our success. It's best to literally stop and do each lesson as he teaches it, because the suggestions really HELP! Thank You! :)

By Daniel Macias on 3/25/2020

Really great information on getting into the 3 pack, seo tips, and much more. I like how it was very short and concise but had all the information necessary without rambling!

By Kelly Richey on 1/31/2020

Excellent course! I'm following each step and amazed by how powerful the local market is! I've placed my focus on national and international business and totally overlooked the local market!

By Marc Rapaport on 9/10/2019

The class took a little over an hour. It was easy to understand, and I updated aspects of my GoogleMyBusiness page as the course progressed. I cannot emphasize enough how easy this course was to follow. I feel that I finally understand the factors that influence Google local search results. I am pleasantly stunned by the results. My site now ranks on the first page of Google local results!! It didn't take a tremendous amount of work. Instead, I needed to hone in on what mattered, and this course gave me the precise knowledge that I needed. I can't recommend this enough.
