• Local SEO Guide, Inc. was founded in 2006 
• We are a “boutique” SEO consulting service. We are not a “chop 
shop”. 
• Our Focus: 
– SEO for Multi-Location Businesses (e.g. Walmart) 
– SEO for Large, Complicated Websites (e.g. Bing Maps) 
– SEO for Agencies 
– SEO for Single Locations 
• We like to get under the hood and solve problems with this 
complicated channel
