  1. Another great video with David. Isn’t he doing a fine job, Mike?

    Not sure I agree with the idea of Google weighting their own reviews more heavily than 3rd party reviews. To me, Google seems almost indifferent to their own reviews, purely from a presentation standpoint (not an SEO one).

    I thought the little chart was a very smart way to lay things out. Good idea! Great job, David.

  2. As usual David provides a very nice, concise view of what you need to do to get ranked locally. Outside of search rankings I think the idea of just managing your profile on all of the IYP sites could yield tremendous results for SMBs.
