We love geeking out about SEO
History of LSG
LSG SEO (aka Local SEO Guide) was founded in 2006 by Andrew Shotland, former GM of NBC.com & a founding member of InsiderPages, an early Yelp competitor that was known for its groundbreaking SEO program. When InsiderPages was acquired by CitySearch in 2006, Andrew left & started LSG.
Over the past 17+ years, LSG has grown from a solo consultant focused on SEO for local marketplaces & local businesses, to a team of 20+, with expertise in SEO for virtually any type of site.
