- A sampling of the wealth of tools. Not counting extensions built for google docs & excel
- Honorable mention to bright local which is still in beta – built review widget (nice idea, doesn’t solve a problem)
- Specialized like open table – other ex is RepairPalNot gonna get into offsite perf tracking so just be aware and look for any way to track this stuff (e.g., foursquare deals, join open table, coupons on place page only etc)

- Remove days axis?
- Mention noindex test – blended likely ranked by local algo & resides on local index
- With only 15% of SERPs, should competing for regular organic shelf space be #1 priority? Traditional linkbuilding less val. Also? Can get great links from same places that also give valuable citations. Efficiency ftw.85% local or blended – universal not really a factor. Make vids to close sales or brand self, not earn SERP shelf space.Should every SMB obsess over longtail? I think its case by case:Lawyer for slip and fall case involving property holding co and properting management co broken hip near nyc (potentially worth millions)Auto mechanic car inspection open late 10312 (worth about ~$45)
