I will be speaking again this year at SMX East on the panel: Ranking Tactics For Local Search.
Chaired by Greg Sterling, I will be joining a veritable who’s who in Local. The other speakers are (arranged alphabetically):
Mary Bowling
David Mihm
Will Scott
Andrew Shotland
Please let me know if you will be there, as I would love to meet up!



This should be a great conference. I hope I can make it out there.

I will wait until SMX-Idaho “When Local goes Local” We might have to use the city hall building. I don’t know if there is a convention center big enough. But, free cow tipping as a meet and greet activity.

@Mike, David,
I’ll definitely will do all I can to be there! Does any of you going to speak or mentioned the thrilling year Google Maps had with the Locksmiths?

@MikeRamsey – do you know Ed Reese, http://www.sixthmanmarketing.com? He is trying to put something together in Spokane…which I realize is not in Idaho but might be close enough…

@David
Thanks for the information. I will have to get in touch with him. And Spokane is like walking distance from the Idaho border. I tried it once on roller blades but only got about a mile before I gave up.

@PureSheer
I don’t think so…

I should go to meet such a who’s who of local seo studs. Wouldn’t it be neat if a public airing of a “hall of shame” were referenced?

@Earlpearl
I don’t know about Andrew or Will but I will be on my best behavior. As we know, David is always on his best so you have little hope.

@Mike,
No Locksmith affairs will be mentioned?..
Google Maps’ reactions to what has happened with the locksmiths this year are the most drastic ones since Google Maps came to life!
I think it can spice up one’s presentation

Do you recommend SMX East over SMX West for local, or both similar quality?
