Frequently asked questions
Local SEO is one of the highest-ROI channels for B2B marketing when executed with the right frameworks. It provides compounding returns, measurable attribution, and direct impact on pipeline velocity.

Start with first-touch and last-touch attribution models, then build toward a linear or time-decay model as your data matures. The key is consistent tagging and a single source of truth for conversion data.
