@justfred You are so right! I had to go read again. Wish I was going to SMX Local to see his presentation.Brian did a great job of touching on the crossover of local SEO & local PPC:If your business is in Google’s local database (if it’s not, use the Google Local Business Center to manage your business’s profile, a good idea anyway), you can create local business ads tied to your business. Then when people look at local results in Google search, you can show up on the right side under ’Sponsored Links’.
