When marketers talk about Local Digital Marketing, conversations almost always focus on Local Search. Are our location pins visible in the maps channel? Is our information correct? How do our reviews look? These are important questions to answer, and have a huge impact on business, but the truth is, Local Digital Marketing encompasses so much more. As technology, marketing capabilities, and user needs scale, so does our ability to engage with audiences in locally relevant ways across all digital channels.
