A common sense approach to social media engagement

Nobody likes to be ignored. And because of this fact of life (and yes, I supposed there are some exceptions to this rule) most human beings automatically respond to someone that addresses them verbally. In other words, if someone talks to you chances are that you will respond to them in some way. It’s just [...]

Is Verizon a Data Supplier to Google Places?

Obviously, I've claimed my consulting business on most of the major search engines and data aggregators, and done my best to make sure that my NAP information (Name, Address, and Phone number, for those of you new to Local Search) is consistent everywhere. Sure there are a few minor variations of my official DBA (David Mihm Web Design / Local SEO) due to various aggregators' limitations on length of business title.

But, I recently came across a crazy bug on my Google Place Page! I couldn't believe it. My phone number had all of a sudden changed from 503-560-2755 to 971-400-6360. I had two questions--#1, of course, why had my phone number changed? #2--and more importantly--where did that number come from?

How to get in the habit of social media engagement

Recently, it occurred to me that social media influence (and branding in general) is all about forming habits.

How to Come up with Killer Blog Post Ideas

If you set yourself a commitment like I have with ExpertPhotography, where you have to write three posts a week, it starts to get a little bit hard to come up with good content ideas.
