Video: Mike Blumenthal on how to rank in Google Local
We also talked about the local SEO community and COVID’s impact on local search.

He explained NAP — name, address and phone number — is no longer that important. What is important is having a good web site, good links, good content, and good site structure. Good reviews and citations are also important and, of course, relevancy and distance all play a role.
