The third edition of GetListed.org Local University is in the books and, for me, it was one of the most enjoyable weeks of business/pleasure I’ve had in a while.

GetListed Local University hits Cleveland next week, and there’s still time to register with a $50-off early-bird discount. More on that below. The workshop happens next Wednesday, June 30th in Valley View, OH, with two identical half-day seminars. Each one teaches small businesses how to increase visibility and do better business online via local search. The feedback we’ve had to the previous workshops in Minneapolis and Spokane has been tremendous.
I’m one of a handful of speakers on the schedule, along with GetListed.org co-founder David Mihm, plus Mike Blumenthal, Mary Bowling, and local folks Anita Campbell and Geoff Karcher. Reps from Google Local and Bing Local will also be speaking and answering audience questions about their local marketing tools for small business owners. Continued
