Local website SEO is no longer optional—it’s essential for any business that wants to get found, build trust, and drive in-person or regional traffic.

One of the most powerful (yet underutilized) ways to earn that trust is through employee-generated content (EGC).
Digital marketing can often feel like speaking a dozen languages at once, especially in California, where innovation and competition thrive.
