Mission Possible? You have 3 hours to do Local SEO. Which top 5 sites do you go Social Bookmark, Local Search Engine Submit and Directory List.

Mission Possible? Here is a test. Suppose you had 3 hours (okay 7) to go and submit links, etc, on Social Bookmarking, Local Search Engines and Directories, which top 5 or more of each would you do? (Assuming your on-page is already sweetened).

I just got 2 more clients and I need to get started on a few things for each.

Thankful for all your advice.............

I would not do social bookmarks or search engine submissions.

I would:

• search for a few good quality industry or local directories to submit to
• try to get links from vendors, local businesses, etc. the client has a relationship with

Without knowing your client's industry, generally speaking If I had 3 hours to work on Local SEO, I would split it up between Google+/G+ Local and Yelp. If I had any time left over, I would try to make connections with reporters from local news websites.

Well, you can start with authenticating your site in Google and Bing, then going to brightlocal.com / whitespark.ca , tw/g+/fb/li and social bookmarking sites (5-10 tops).

Web directories take a lot of time to get into but do try odp/joeant/botw and then aim for local directories + links from your customers' connections.

Do you need a list of sites or just some pointers?
