Portland resident and local search expert David Mihm reveals how to get into the coveted Google 10-pack. David is the COO and Director for getlisted.org and provides consulting services for clients throughout the US.

  1. Great interview… a bit dated nowadays but its a good listen for learning some background of Google Local from the man himself, David Mihm. Good music playing in the background too :)

    Take Care,
