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


Google Lens is a pretty cool tool that can save you a lot of time looking for something. I know people use it to identify plants, animals, and of course, for shopping purposes too.

Recently Google Lens just got an integration for YouTube Shorts to be able to search within videos. Pretty cool!

Not sure how applicable this is to local marketing, but it’s always a smart idea to keep an eye on tech so figured I’d share:

SEO is something we haven’t talked about in a while… even though it is something we use every single day in our agency.

So no, SEO isn’t dead.

It’s still going to be extremely important for local businesses. And quite frankly is one of the best services you can offer.

How To Graduate From Business Worker To Business OWNER And Make More $$$ This Summer Than You Ever Thought Possible…

Big news!

Today marks the day of my oldest daughter's graduation! And I am so excited!

And in honor of that, I figured we'd make today's Aloha Friday Local Marketing Jam session all about graduating from “business worker” to “business owner”.

This is a big mental shift a lot of people don't make or make too late.

And staying stuck in this mindset can cause you to make a lot of time and money-eating mistakes.

But not to fear.

While I'm out celebrating my daughter's graduation, Richie Cronin will be hosting this week's Jam Session to show YOU how to become the CEO and Owner of your business.

So you can begin to make far more money than you ever thought possible before.

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.
