If you’re a local business and you want to dominate Google, read on! Choose the statement that best applies to you below so that you can best understand what is being offered to you.

Position 1:
“I know about local SEO. I know what search directories are. I know who Localeze is and what they do for my local SEO ranking.”
The Deal:
Tutelary Marketing is going to become a channel partner with Localeze and because of this, the normal listing service they provide for local businesses that costs $297 for a year (around $25 a month) is only going to cost us $100 a year ($8.33 a month). We’re passing this on and not marking up the cost to local businesses that are interested. Why? Honestly, because there is a steep initial cost to becoming a channel partner and we want to recoup that cost. So, we feel like it’s a fair trade. We get the listings at $100 a piece, you get a phenomenal deal (66% off) and we get to recoup a business cost.
Some people are going to ask why we don’t mark the cost up and make some money off this deal due to the fact that it’s already incredibly cheap. As a business owner myself, I’m just not too interested in that. I’m happy just to recoup our cost, even though we may lose a bit of money due to the time it takes us to set it up for you. But mostly, I just like passing on a good deal. It makes me feel good.
So, if you want to jump on this, we have 7 spots left. Call us to reserve your spot. But make sure you do it quick. After the 7 spots are taken, this deal will be closed off.

Position 2:
“I have no idea who Localeze is or what they do. I don’t know the first thing about Google. I have no idea what SEO stands for. I do not know the first thing about how to market my local business on Google.”
Short Version:
To rank well on Google, you need to have your business information all over the internet so that Google can pick it up. The more places your business information can be found, the higher you will rank. Localeze is the most powerful tool to make this happen. Localeze sends out your business information all over the internet and can easily be the difference between a top ranking or obscurity on Google.
Normally, Localeze is going to charge you $297 a year to use their service. However, for a limited time you can go through Tutelary Marketing to secure that service from Localeze for $100 ($8.33 a month) for one year.
Why are we doing this? Frankly, because our deal with Localeze costs us a good amount of money up front. The best way to recoup this expense is to sell the spots we don’t need. In our deal we were allotted a certain amount of spots at a certain price. Each spot cost us $100. Why aren’t we marking them up? Because we don’t want to take a month (or longer) to recoup this cost, we want to get rid of them now and $100 is going to sell more quickly than $150 or $200. That’s just the brutally honest truth from me directly to you.
So, we have 7 spots left for this deal out of our original 15. It will be first come first serve. The last 7 companies to put down their $100 deposit will be the last 7 companies that we will add to the first 8. After that, the deal will be closed.
If you are interested, we highly recommend you read the longer version below to get a better grasp on what is being offered and what exactly it will do for your local business.
Long Version:
SEO stands for Search Engine Optimization. Google is a search engine. Therefore, SEO is the process of optimizing your local business to appear high on Google search results. For example, if you’re a dentist in Nashville, you want to show up #1 when someone types in “dentist Nashville” into Google. If you’re an auto repair shop in Boise, you want to show up #1 when someone types in “auto repair shop Boise”.
Why Google?
Why do you want to show up at the top of Google search results? Because 9 out of 10 people when looking for a local product or service use a search engine (Google, Yahoo, or Bing) to find it. No one uses the phone book anymore to find local businesses, they use Google. People are even starting to rely on word of mouth less these days because Google provides reviews of a business for you. 72% of people trust an anonymous review just as much as if they knew the person and Google gives them the ability to instantaneously find reviews on a local business versus the customer taking the time to call or text someone they know to ask for a recommendation. SEO absolutely and unequivocally reaches the most amount of people when it comes to local business marketing. That’s why you want to optimize for Google.
Where Do I Start?
So, how do you start ranking on Google? Google wants to see you optimize the three pieces of internet property that your business has: your website, your Google+ Local page, and your local search directory information.
We are only going to focus on search directory information in this post as it is relative to the deal we’re offering. If you’re interested in how to optimize your website or Google+ Local page for local SEO, you can find all the information you need by doing a quick Google search on the subject.
Local Search Directory Information
So, what are local search directories? Local search directories are also called IYP’s (Internet Yellow Pages). You can understand why, because they are literally just digital versions of the old yellow page phone books. However, unlike the telephone books which were few in number, there are literally hundreds of IYP’s on the internet. You’ve probably heard of the more popular ones such as CitySearch, Yelp, Judy’s Book, Angie’s List, etc. Google wants to see your information on all these local search directories (or IYP’s). Not only do they want to see your information out there but they want to see it in a consistent format. This means that your business name, address, and telephone number are always the exact same across all the local search directories. This is called your NAP (name, address, telephone number). If your NAP is consistent across the board, Google will rank you higher.
The Methods
Now, you can get your information to these hundreds of search directories a few different ways. The first way is to just go to each search directory individually and submit your information. This can take between 15-45 minutes per directory depending on how thorough you want to be with your information (including coupons, photos, descriptions, etc.). As we said, there are hundreds of directories out there. As you can see, this can be extremely time consuming. Most businesses just make this a gradual process and try to gradually cover as many local search directories as they can in a year or so.
However, there is another option and luckily, this option is a whole lot easier. You see, these local search directories we’ve been talking about don’t rely just on local businesses (like you) to submit their business information to them. If they did, their databases wouldn’t have even 10% of the amount of business listings that they have. No, what these search directories do is BUY local business information (NAP) from local business data aggregators. If there were only a way to to get your information on these local business data aggregators, then you could submit your information to them and sit back while it populates across all of the local business directories without you having to do so much as lift a finger. I think you know what I’m about to say next. There is a way to do this and yes, it is as easy as advertised.
Submitting to the Local Business Data Aggregators
How do you do this? Well, fortunately there are only three major data aggregators out there: InfoUSA, Acxiom, and Localeze. You just submit your business to all three and you’re in good shape for the most part.
InfoUSA is free to submit to. Acxiom is a bit complicated to submit to but it’s going to cost you between $50-$75 for a full year no matter how you do it. However, the real jewel, Localeze, is going to cost you a whopping $297 for a full year. I’m sure that you feel exactly the same way about that as I do. That’s way too expensive for the ordinary local business.
Luckily, for a select few there is a way around that. Tutelary Marketing has a temporary deal with Localeze where the same package that costs $297 a year normally is only going to cost you $100 ($8.33 a month) a year through Tutelary!
What’s the Catch?
Why are we doing this? Frankly, because our deal with Localeze costs us a good amount of money up front. The best way to recoup this expense is to sell the spots we don’t need. In our deal we were allotted a certain amount of spots at a certain price. Each spot cost us $100. Why aren’t we marking them up? Because we don’t want to take a month (or longer) to recoup this cost, we want to get rid of them now and $100 is going to sell more quickly than $150 or $200. That’s just the brutally honest truth from me directly to you.
So, now that you know what’s going on, you need to take advantage. Localeze submission is a staple of our Local Search Solution and every local business with Tutelary Marketing is submitted to Localeze as one of our first priorities. Localeze is an absolute necessity if you want to dominate Google.
