I’m doing a seminar on Local Search at the Bayanihan Arts Center located at 14301 Nine Eagles Dr, Tampa, FL 33626 from 2 PM to 4 PM. The price is $25 before the event and $30 at the door.

I’ll be going over:

1. What is Local Search?
2. How to Use Keywords
3. Google and the Local Business Center
4. Yahoo! Local
5. Bing (Formerly MSN Live)
6. Local Listing Directories and Industry Specific Directories
7. Building Citations

Join us to learn more about local search and how it affects you.

Microsoft launched their new search engine Bing last week. My first impression? It’s visually stunning and looks to give Google some real competition.

I’m doing some research into it, focusing of course on how it’s going to play in the local search industry. My focus has mainly been Google and Yahoo, but it looks like I’m going to have to pay attention to Bing as well!

I’ll have a more detailed report for you once I’ve done some more research.
