Local businesses need to understand how the world of search is heading their way. “Local Search” is becoming a major focus of search engines like Google, Yahoo!, and MSN. The problem is, most local businesses aren’t catching on!

I’m Michael Jensen, an entrepreneur and Internet Marketer. I’m a big believer in local businesses, and as I’ve pursued SEO and Internet Marketing I’ve been more and more drawn to what is called “Local Search” and “Local SEO”. Local businesses have a big opportunity, like never before, to start capitalizing on visitors to local search sites like Google Maps, Yahoo! Local, and more. Your business shouldn’t just be in the phone book, or even just on your website. There’s so much more to do to attract new local customers and grow your business.

For groups of local businesses like your local Chamber of Commerce, I give a seminar or workshop on Local Search and Local SEO. My training will help local businesses to gain the advantage they need over their competitors in attracting customers from online sources. Local businesses will gain understanding, know-how, and resources for getting into Local Search, without hiring a marketing firm, consultant, or SEO.

Please contact me by phone or email to discuss how I can help your local business. I’d be happy to contact your Chamber of Commerce and pitch my seminar or workshop to them as a part of their educational series. And be sure to visit my blog to learn more about Local Search and Local SEO.
