About the Company
We Do Local, a dot-com registered in the USA in 2011, got it's start as an agency supporting other marketing agencies and website design firms with "Local Search" support. The term Local Search had been around a while and was started when Google started to mark Google Maps with places of business. When Google opened up their maps platform so that business owners could create, claim and own these places, it become "Google Places".
Shortly after, We Do Local, LLC was founded and our primary function for the first years we were in business was to claim and manage "Google Places" along with up to 75 other influential online directories such as Yahoo, Bing, Yelp, Merchant Circle, Insider Pages, etc. (A lot of these directory companies don't exist anymore.) Into the mid 'teens, claiming, owning and optimizing these listings to keep them consistant arcross the web was a powerful thing business owners could do to increase their visibility online. The work was relatively simple, but very time comsuming. Creating a process and using specialized software, we were able to do this work very efficiently and over those first years claimed thousands of directories for the customers of our agency partners.
As anyone knows, there is always change on the web and changes that Google makes. Over the years we have changed our strategies and processes too so that we can still deliver meaningful Local Search Optimization. But, we've added so many more services that help our agency partners by off-loading other labor intensive functions of SEO to us freeing up their staff so they can work closer to their customers.
About the Founder
Hi! I'm Rob Scutti
I started We Do Local on April 1st, 2011. No Fooling! But I didn't start my career as a marketer. However, through my journey in many businesses, I know I was learning and doing marketing for a long time before I started to focus on it. Coming into marketing this way prepared me to be an excellent helper for businesses facing the wild world of marketing.
