My question is this, Matt how many local campaigns have you run??? People dont search zip code, are you kidding me? If I took zip, cities with state abbr after them out of my clients campaigns their phones would stop ringing! Ever hear of Google Local or Place or whatever they call it now, what do you think drives the results? Do a search for say "garage door repair marietta 30006" and what do you notice about the results? They are almost ALL IYP's and a full sposored link section! This equates to VALUABLE real estate buddy. Matt Van Wagner
