We will examine the strategic use of influencers to create authentic, engaging narratives that resonate deeply with target audiences, driving success in the evolved purchase funnel.
We’ve entered a new era in digital. Search and AI are colliding, in more ways than one. And they all have major implications for marketers.
• SEOs now use AI to optimize content.
• Google now uses AI to generate answers.
• Users are skipping search completely. They can now use AI to get answers. So AI has changed everything …or maybe not. Our audience hasn’t changed. Their information needs haven’t changed. Their perception of quality hasn’t changed. In reality, the most important things haven’t changed at all. In this session, you’ll learn the impact of AI. And you’ll learn ways that AI can make us better at the classic challenges: getting discovered, connecting through content and staying top of mind with the people who matter most. We’ll use timely tools to rebuild timeless foundations. We’ll do better basics, but with the most advanced techniques. Andy will share a set of frameworks, prompts and techniques for better digital basics, using the latest tools of today. And in the end, Andy will consider - in a brief glimpse - what might be the biggest change of all, and how to expand your footprint in the new digital landscape.

4. A little bit about me...
● I work at Seer Interactive here in Philly
○ ...with your teacher!
● I’ve been doing local search for about
3 ½ years
○ ...and I’m a huge nerd about it (proof → )
● I majored in music in college
○ ...and I didn’t even know what “SEO” was
when I was in school, so you guys are
already way ahead of where I was!
P.S. Keep in touch! coris@seerinteractive.com, @corishirk
6. What is Local SEO?
● It’s being where your customer is searching
● It’s understanding your customer’s needs at different stages in their
purchase journey, and marketing to each stage
● It’s the bridge between real world businesses and the internet
7. Anatomy of a
Local SERP
1. Local Ads
2. Local Results
3. Localized Organic Results
8. Types of Local Search Queries
Explicit: “hotel in Philadelphia”
● You tell Google you want local results by including a local modifier (i.e. a city or a
neighborhood)
● Usually indicate that the user is farther down in the purchase funnel and is ready to visit a
location
Implicit: “hotel”
● Google assumes you want local results based on the type of thing you’re looking for
● Usually indicate that the user is still top-of-the-funnel and browsing options
11. For once, the world does
revolve around you.
You want to find businesses near you. Google knows that, so it will rank
businesses nearby wherever it is you’re searching.
12. ● Google My Business signals
○ Google local listings
● External signals
○ Consistent address data across the web
● On-page signals
○ Consistent address data, locally relevant
keywords, website authority
● Link signals
● User reviews of a business
○ On Google and around the web
● Social signals
● User behavior
○ Bounce rate, click-through rate
There Are Some Other Factors That Come Into Play, Though.
15. Google Doesn’t Know What Happens Offline
● It needs to find ways to translate real-world actions into data that it can
make sense of
16. ● Your NAP is how search engines understand what your business is and
where it’s located.
● The more times the NAP shows up online, the better search engines
understand your business, and the higher your chances are of ranking.
● Consistency is important! Your NAP should reflect your business online
exactly how it is offline.
NAP
17. Common NAP Problems
● Keyword stuffing in business name
○ “Qdoba Temple” vs just “Qdoba”
● Official names vs common names
○ “Temple University” vs just “Temple”
● Call tracking numbers
● Moved addresses
● Rebranding / Renaming
18. Local Listing
An online profile that contains business information like a business’ name,
address, phone number, and other details.
Any instance of a business’ NAP online.
All listings are citations, but not all citations are listings. The more
citations you have, the better search engines understand your business,
and the more likely you are to rank.
Citation
21. Google My Business
The name of the platform businesses use to
manage their business information on Google,
used for both small businesses and large chains.

info:

Clicks for Driving Directions
● Tell Google that you (the user) are satisfied with the search results, and that you intend to visit
the business
● Strong signal that online behavior will carry into an offline action
Reviews
● Tell Google that you did in fact visit that business, and if your experience was satisfactory
● Bring that offline behavior back online & translate it to data (1-5 star standard rating system)

“Forever 21 Philadelphia PA”
“ice dam removal CT”

32. On-Page Local SEO
● First impression (i.e. good design) matters.
● Use relevant and locally-centric keywords in your page copy and your
meta tags, but don’t overdo it. Keep it natural.
● Include your NAP
● Use Schema markup to highlight important data to search engines
33. Schema Markup
Code that helps search engines understand what
your website is about, and therefore return
better results to users.

can use to show important things to
search engines
● Use Schema markup for:
○ Your NAP
○ Reviews
○ Your logo
○ Local events you’re hosting
○ Localized product/ service offerings
“events in Philadelphia”
34. Links to Your Website From Other Local Websites
● Like citations, local links are confirmation for Google that your business
operates in a real location in the real world

○ Press releases
○ Local news coverage
○ Other businesses you work with
