Just Launched – Google Local Results Tracking Added to SEOmoz PRO Rank Tracking Software
SEOmoz PRO just FINALLY launched a major update that added local (Google Places) results to their rank tracking solution and it looks like it has some pretty cool features. I have not tried it yet since I’m not a member. Have wanted to join, but held off since the tool previously didn’t feature local results. I’ll probably give it a spin soon.
Read the full post and see the screenshots over at the SEOmoz blog.
Universal Search Results in PRO – Part 1: Local Results
We’ve just shipped phase one of our support for Universal Search results, which includes data about local (a.k.a. places) results in Google search results. Whether it’s a 7-pack or a blended result, if you care about local SERP results, it’s often a pain to find out where you stand. We aim to help.
Be sure to also check out my Google Places Software & Free Local SEO Tools page which has other dynamite tracking solutions for Google Places.
Sorry I haven’t been blogging. I have one new REALLY hot resource I want to share but I don’t want it to get spammed to death or over-used, so am trying to decide if I should do a private post and only allow trusted marketers to view. (I know some major spammers/scammers read this blog, so need to be careful about sharing precious little known resources.) But that would require me having a list (which I should, but don’t) or individually approving people that request to view, which is extra time and hassle I don’t have. So chewing on that one. (Maybe I need to bite the bullet and get my Places forum launched, that way I could have a private member only section for hot tips like this???) Any ideas on how best to handle?
Now that I’m a Google Top Contributor I’ve also been spending all free time helping people on the Places forum, which cuts into blogging time. But once I get re-organized and get a couple client projects finished, hopefully I can do a better job of “keeping all my balls in the air!” (That comment’s for you Mike!)

I think a mailing list is probably the best way to share those “private” things. Then you know who’s on the list and can remove people that you don’t know.

Hi Linda! Happy New Year! Just wanted to let you know that I bought your last recommended tool, Places Scout, and love it! Works great and gets ton of support and updates. Anyway, I’d like to volunteer to help you create/moderate/whatever to help you launch your GP forum. Also, would love to have you send me an email regarding your new resource as well. So please let me know if you would like help with your proposed forum. Hope I can help and thanks for all your hard work!

I’m curious to see your feedback after you use it. We currently use Bright Local to track our clients, and I’ve been thrilled with them.

@Joy Yes I use and like Bright too. But also use Places Scout they each give me data in a different way that I like. Wish I could find one tool that did it all – perfectly.
Just looking at the screenshots of SEOmoz, not sure I’d like it, but wanted to pass it on, especially for those that are already paying for SEOmoz and had not heard about the update yet.

@Eric, thanks so much. I have a WONDERFUL forum admin who already works for me, is a practicing Psychologist AND an SEO guru so he’ll be running the new forum and doing all the tech stuff. So that’s a big piece of the puzzle solved. It’s just finding time to set it up, market it, figure out a bunch of strategy stuff with it.
I’ve had a couple people email me about the resource I hinted at, but can’t just give it out cuz it would take a full post to explain it and show screenshots, etc. Too much work for a time and carpal challenged person to do just for one or 2 people privately via email. I’ll figure something out.

Yeah, thanks for the update. Actually I’m planning to use it to help me for something but as of now I’m looking forward for the output. Another thing is I think it is great if google has a report language based seach to be more accurate.

You have made a huge progress being a Google contributor. It sounds like you are very busy and I hope you finally finish your projects to focus on writing posts once again.

Sounds like you are extremely busy and it is great that you are helping a lot on the places forums. I can definitely about the spammers and scammers, it is just right that you are being cautious.

Linda,
Glad to hear you have somebody helping you with the forum! Hope it opens soon. I would appreciate it if you would still email me the resource anyway… I doubt I would need an explanation of how it works. I’m pretty good at figuring things out and reverse engineering how stuff works. So please send me an email so I can take a peek? Thanks!
