2. About Me
• Began selling software online in 1999, began a
small agency in the spring of 2004, and
launched our own tools in 2009.
• In 2007, I attended SES Local in LA and was
amazed at the total lack of information.
• Today, local is probably the fastest growing
segment of SEO, and it‘s an honor to be
included on this Pubcon panel.
3. How much Mobile Traffic do you get?
You might be surprised...
• When is the last time you looked?
• Some businesses have over 1/3 of all traffic
coming to their site via tablet or mobile.
• You are not maximizing your revenue, but
that’s okay, because neither are your
competitors.
6. What‘s your first step?
Examine your site!
• Test it on an iPhone and Android
• How does it look?
• Is it functional?
• Can you read and navigate it?

7. What DO you need?
• Simple pinch & zoom?
• Click to call?
• Map?
• A relevant menu?
• Appointment setting?

8. Let‘s say you‘ve decided...
How can you achieve what you want?

like wptouch, etc.
• Do you actually need an “app“?

well actually...
14. How do you choose?
Ask these questions:
• CAN you ask questions via chat or phone?
• Self configured? On site or subdomain?
• Auto sync w/ your site?
• Automatic detection and redirection?
