Local SEO just got a reality check. Darren Shaw, founder of Whitespark, joins Rooted in Revenue to debunk some widely held myths while sharing what actually drives results for small businesses trying to dominate local search. If you're a real estate agent sharing office space with ten competitors, a service provider working from home, or any brick-and-mortar business wondering why your Google rankings aren't improving despite "doing everything right," this conversation will change how you approach local SEO forever. Shaw breaks down the local filter that's silently crushing businesses sharing addresses, reveals why citation consistency isn't the ranking factor everyone thinks it is, and explains why your Google Business Profile needs constant attention, not a "set it and forget it" approach. Plus, he tackles the age-old question about Yelp's practices and shares the one ranking factor that trumps almost everything else. About Darren Shaw Darren founded Whitespark in 2005 as a web design and development company; however, his passion and curiosity for all things local search led to a shift in focus in 2010, and ultimately to what the company is today. These days, Whitespark specializes in local search software and services and is one of the most respected and cited in the industry. Darren has been working on the web for over 19 years and loves everything about local SEO. He leads research initiatives such as the Local Search Ranking Factors survey and the Local Search Ecosystem. He is a regular contributor to search marketing publications, and speaks at conferences around the globe. When Darren isn't speaking at conferences, researching the latest in local search or designing the next best local SEO tool, he is spending time with his wife and daughter in their hometown of Edmonton, Alberta. In his spare time he's traveling, sporting fancy socks, and drinking too much coffee.

Have you ever wondered how some service businesses seem to dominate their local markets while others struggle to get seen? The secret might be simpler than you think – and it all starts with how you show up on Google. Today's guest breaks down what really works in local SEO, how to increase your visibility without increasing your workload, and why finding your niche might be the smartest move you can make. Bradley Benner is a leading local SEO expert and the founder of multiple businesses, including TreeCareHQ, Semantic Mastery, Semantic Links, and Semantic SEO. With over a decade of experience in agency building, lead generation, and SEO coaching, Bradley helps both business owners and marketing professionals create systems that convert clicks into clients. Why Local SEO Still Matters Even with the rise of AI-driven search, Google Maps still drives the majority of local leads – nearly 70%, according to Bradley. But most business owners aren't optimizing their Google Business Profiles the right way. From posting geo-tagged photos to writing location-specific content, Bradley shares actionable strategies that help local businesses get seen and generate results. He also emphasizes why local businesses should aim to rank in both Maps and traditional search results. It's not just about visibility – it's about building long-term authority and creating a safety net when algorithms shift. Why Niching Down Changes Everything In 2020, Bradley made a pivotal shift by focusing solely on tree service contractors – a decision that helped him streamline his processes, scale faster, and build a thriving local agency. By specializing, he was able to reuse assets, simplify his marketing, and generate predictable results for his clients. Today, his white-label SEO agencies serve other marketers looking for efficient, proven systems. Whether you're a service-based business owner or a marketing pro supporting them, this episode is packed with practical SEO insights and long-term strategy. Enjoy this episode with Bradley Benner… Soundbytes 8:20-8:34 “Just because we may have a skill like being able to know how to get stuff to rank in Google, that doesn't mean that you're going to be effective at being able to convert that skill into money – not just for yourself as the SEO professional, but for the business that you're selling that service to.” 10:14-10:34 “In 2020 I niched down. I finally decided to ignore anybody else other than tree contractors from my own local SEO agency. And boy, that was the biggest thing, the best thing I could have ever done. Because it simplified my business significantly from the workload.” Quotes “If you can build enough brand strength, you can typically rank well, even if you have terrible SEO.” “About 70% of the leads that are generated from Google Search come from maps.” “One of the most valuable things that they can do is just train their technicians to take three to five photos from a mobile device.” “AI is changing search behavior fast. If your business isn't feeding the model, you're invisible.” Links mentioned in this episode: From Our Guest Website: https://semanticmastery.com/ Connect with Bradley Benner on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/bradleybenner/ Connect with brandiD Download our free guide to learn 16 crucial website updates that attract more leads and convert visitors into clients: https://thebrandid.com/website-tweaks/ Ready to elevate your digital presence with a powerful brand or website?

Edge of the Web - An SEO Podcast for Today's Digital Marketer
Curious where your website visitors are really clicking—or rage-clicking? On this week's EDGE of the Web, SEO expert Celeste Gonzalez returns to break down how heatmaps and session recordings are transforming the way we analyze user behavior, optimize pages, and (hopefully) keep our clients engaged. We dig into practical tips for choosing the right pages to monitor, interpreting the sometimes confusing world of “dead clicks” versus “rage clicks,” and why your mobile hero image might be killing conversions. A/B testing? Internal linking tests for those blog post traffic hogs? On a side note: if you haven't looked at Microsoft Clarity (a freebie, folks), you're missing out. Celeste spills why it's her go-to and what to watch for as AI-powered tools like Copilot throw their hot takes into the mix. And we concur! Always be optimizing! Whether you're an SEO wrangling for bigger budgets or a marketer tired of guessing, Celeste's advice on collaboration, continuous testing, and the necessity of structured analysis is worth its weight in user insights.
