Malware in your contact forms
2 Minute Tuesday

Local SEO Ep2: Your Phone Number
2 Minute Tuesday
We've come to expect it. We're hungry and on our phone, we look up our favorite local Pizza place, we see a number and if we click it, we'll be ordering that large Canadian Bacon, Pineapple with extra cheese in moments. Right? When that doesn't happen, when we have to copy and paste the number, or worse yet, write it down, we get kind of cranky. Google knows it, which is why it's a ranking factor for Local SEO.
