What does Local Search Distance mean?

What does Local Search Distance mean?

It means how far is each potential search result from the location term used in a search? 

If a user doesn't specify a location in their search, Google will calculate distance based on what’s known about their location.

Think of it as where you are standing.  When you do a mobile search for ~ Starbucks, you will get the nearest three Starbucks based on the "crow-flies" distance.

Or, do a search for "dentist near me".  You will again get the nearest three dentists.  However, drive east 4 miles, and do the same search again.  You will see that you get a different set of three dentists.

Will Google Analytics save me money?

Will Google Analytics save me money? Used correctly, interpreting the data within analytics can save you money by making you realize which marketing channels are working, and which ones need improvement, or can be dropped. Maybe you’re paying several hundred or thousand dollars a year on a listing on a third party website? Using Analytics will help you know how much traffic you are getting from that link, and how much inquiries or revenue it’s driving.   If it’s not driving revenue, you may be able to avoid renewing the listing, or haggle hard on the renewal price.

What is content marketing exactly?

  What is content marketing exactly?   Content marketing turns traditional marketing on its head. Instead of focusing on a company and its products or services, it focuses on the consumer’s needs first.  The goal of a properly planned content marketing campaign or strategy is to provide valuable, genuinely helpful information to consumers for free, in order to create a relationship with them based on trust, which eventually leads them to make a purchase.
