Thanks Sam, I missed it. Sounds interesting.
I agree, if you know how to leave a bread crumb trail and feed the spiders you can get pretty fast ranking increases.
The problem with most small business websites though is they don't get much traffic, so Googlebot does not visit that often. Most people just make site improvements and then sit back and wonder why it takes so long to get re-indexed.
But the other thing with Local algo is, you can do the best SEO improvements and still not budge if you have violations or problems on the Google Places side of the house, or if you tripped a filter that causes a ranking penalty.
I'm curious if he goes into any of that. Let us know if he posts a recording.

Hello everyone;
My first post on this forum.
I have invested considerable time and a little money in setting up a website and starting to learn and implement SEO.
My site is; NEOhio insurance agent dot com.
I used a free Wordpress theme and basically self taught myself how to set up the site.
Of course, I have had zero return in the way of leads from the site so far.
I know some agents say their site is only for credibility, prospect research, etc.
Thats fine, but I want leads.
Any feedback, will be appreciated. My goal is not to give quotes from the site (that is kind of a scary concept to me). Just getting names and numbers.
My brother does SEO freelance work, so I am not without any resources, but I don't like to bother him with things I am should be finding out myself.
Again, feedback is welcome.

Keep your expectations low my friend. Everything starts with keyword research - The people searching the terms you intend to rank for. If no one is searching your terms, you won't get leads. And believe me those local type terms don't get nearly as many searches as you might hope.
Then you move on to competition. Who's ranking above you for them, and why? Then, in the event you do get a reasonable of visitors it takes conversion of them to actual leads by way of your call to action (lead form). This takes continuous testing, often called A/B testing to see which form actually generates leads.
You can try Google's keyword planner tool to see how many people search your terms, again don't get your hopes up and certainly don't pour a ton of money into SEO to rank for terms that no one is searching for.
Hope this helps.

I'll throw my hat into the square.
My SEO Service Special for June is guaranteed spot on Page 5 for three key word phrases. I'll also create a killer phrase of my own and you'll be on Page 3 within 180 days.
Normally, I charge $179 per month, but I'll drop it to $119 per month. You can cancel at any time after you have had the service for 36 months.
Hosting is handled by me (no charge after the first $30 per month) and I will show you how to edit content.
I guarantee everything by phone.

That's a joke, right?
For a mere $4284 dollars I'll get you all the way to page 5 for a grand total of 0 clicks a day! But, I'll get you to page 3 on a term I made up!
Dont waste your money.
