Claude Shannon’s seminal proof of the perfect secrecy of… Read More... →

Posted by jenstarLocal SEO has seen the biggest shake-up since Google launched their first local algorithm, Pigeon, just over a year ago. On Thursday, August 6th, people began to notice that the usual 7-packs that frequently showed up in the search results for local businesses were suddenly replaced with 3-packs in the desktop search results.

Influencer marketing is no different in that it involves a blend of strategy and creative, but the reason it works so well has less […]... →
