Catch 2

Welcome to “Pirate’s Booty” – a curated stash of local marketing news and content for your reading pleasure.


This week we got some juicy Google gossip. And starting off with an article about how Google protects searchers from scams. This is important because you do NOT want to sound or look like a scam.

Not only will Google block you… but prospects will run. 

If you’re interested in hearing more about this, dive into the article here:

Keeping the Google theme…

   A-Step-By-Step Plan To Go From Premium Listings To Premium Clients On Repeat

When it comes to our directory site strategy, SmartDirectoryAI…

The first step is to take your new prospects and sell them on a premium listing package.

This will not only bring in easy recurring revenue you can rely on…

But it sets you up for an easy upsell to make them a PREMIUM client.

How's it done?

That's what I covered on this week's Aloha Friday Local Marketing Jam Session. On it, I talked a lot about crafting the perfect premium package.

Plus, I shared a take home PDF that lays out everything step by step.

Tom Gaddis

Attended the School of Hard Knocks. A former restaurant manager in Oklahoma, Tom always wanted to be self-employed and free from the butt-smooching of the corporate world. He wanted success bad enough that he picked up his family, including two small children and moved to beautiful Maui, Hawaii. Starting from zero, Tom embarked on building a local marketing consulting business. And promptly fell on his face! It seems Hawaiians were lovely people, until you tried to sell them something! But he persevered and learned from his mistakes. Today he's arguably one of the most successful in his niche and expecting to grow over 100% this year alone.
