Greg’s SEO presentation from the Driving Sales Executive Summit

In this week’s video, I’m sharing my popular presentation on Local SEO from the Driving Sales Executive Summit in Las Vegas last month. Learn why SEO is your highest priority in the upcoming year and exactly how to optimize site content, links, reviews, and Google My Business (now called Google Business Profiles).


Google My Business has a new name

Welcome back to another episode of Local Search Tuesdays. This week, I’m sharing some shocking breaking news: Google My Business is no more!

Ok, yeah, that intro was a little click-baity. Google My Business isn’t really gone, it’s just rebranded… again. GMB has been rebranded, and now it’s called “Google Plus Local Places for My Business Profiles on Google Maps by Google”

OK, just kidding…

Seems like every few years, Google decides to change the name of the local listings product. Considering the fact that there are still tons of people who call it Google Places, I’m sure this new name change is going to take a while to catch on.
