Best one yet. I appreciate the tone; I can tell you've been there, and the practicals are real gems. Rare in a day where small business owners are bombarded with gimicky marketing that often offers something meaty but produces only gristle. I've been questioning my follow up and this gave me the specific answer I needed. Also, a great summation of google and visibility. Thanks!
