Attendees of the January Free Lunch Friday are still buzzing about Todd Hartley, CEO of WireBuzz, who discussed how to move up in Google rankings through authentic content. Hartley spoke to the sold out Free Lunch Friday Phoenix crowd at Axosoft about the utilization of Google+ for small businesses. Even though the social features of Google+ have yet to really take off as the new mainstream social media site, it is Google+ and its’ other features that can help small businesses with their marketing strategies. Hartley shared, “A definitive indicator of relevance is what Google is looking for,” and can strongly benefit a small business’s marketing efforts. Hartley also emphasized that traditional search engine optimization (SEO) is dead, noting that, “It is, it’s the reality, the game is changing and the puck is moving.”
