"Get Found Now!" is a Fantastic Book
"Get Found Now!" is a Fantastic Book. It is well written, easy to understand and follow, and excellently illustrated. Even a non-techie can get maximum use from this book on how to improve your placement in the major search engines. I am fortunate to have been able to have taken a class from Rich and Shannon dealing with Local Search before the book was published. This book covers many things beyond what I learned in their class. In fact, I have read the book three times cover to cover and each time I have picked up things I missed in the previous reading. For example, Google News on page 103 jumped out at me during my last reading, because Press Releases have always been an enigma to me. If you already know some things about Local Search, this book will definitely shorten your learning curve as well as expand the avenues to your success.

Straigtforward, practical, fill-in-the-blanks book
Local Search (I now know) is not rocket science. It's just a matter of taking a series of steps so that your website appears in Local Search Results, which is that list of businesses and their locations that often appears at the top of search results. This book walks you through each step necessary. Screenshots are a bit grainy I thought, but the textual instructions were enough for me to follow the steps without a bother. Full disclosure: I know Richard Geasey through business contacts. If the potential customer base for your website is within driving distance, then this handy little book on Local Search is exactly what you need.

Up To Date and very Informative
If your a small business looking to promote online this book is essential. Very easy to read and full tutorials on how to rank high in local search.
