Google+
“Google+ and Local are still in flux. Keep linking your blog content to your Google+ page.”
“There will be a huge impact on social search in the years to come. Now is the time to really boost the social signals up. "Social factors are going to become the most important factor in getting leads in the future," Social and search, the worlds are colliding. The algorithms of tomorrow are based on people.”
Rank is not everything. Influence from your peers is more. If you're looking for the best sushi place in saratoga, even though restaurant A may be ranking #1, restaurant B is ranking #6 but you see 10 friends have liked it, what do you think you're going to choose?
“Google Glasses example/Siri example - Tell me where to get a plumber in Philadelphia. It won't be the closest, or the best ranked, the result is going to be based upon what your peers reviews are. Social signals are the new types of links. Tweets, Likes, G+s. These count as links. Socially enable all of your content, (social media plugins. Pin it buttons, tweet this, etc.) Make it easy for them to share.”
