Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Frederick,

Can you give us some more information on what you are looking for?
Are you looking for "the number of tweets" a hashtag appears in or just something that you can use to view a #hashtag as it's in action.

Have you taken a look at your Google Webmaster Tools?  Among the various things it will give you a list of all the crawl errors that you have on your website.  That might be of help.

We tend to agree with Moosa, "local results" and "organic results" are not linked in anyway.   If your local results seem to have fallen off quite a bit, I'd suggest taking a look at your link building activities.

Also run your competitors through opensiteexplorer.com or ahrefs.com, see what they're doing from a link buliding perspective that might have caused them to jump over you.

Have you tried reaching out to Google local support yet?  We'd give them a try.

All of the responses here are good, but we also want to throw out the fact that as a company, do you know if your brand is a successful brand.  We can all come up with ideas for companies but are they really money making worthy.

We have people who have worked on both sides of the coin, agency and in-house and I can say as an agency person, I see a lot of people who are afraid of really doing what they need to be doing to win the online battle.  How are you marketing to your clients currently? Are you knocking on doors?  Is your business even really marketing online?

Ternit,

I would ignore a blog.wordpress.com.  This isn't giving you any natural traffic.  You want the blog on your site.

I seem to agree with everyone that your goal should be to focus on optimizing your current website with keyword rich titles, h1s, meta description, and meta tags.

If you have any pictures on these pages, I would also look into title tags and alternate title tags.

Also if you don't have any social media accounts set up, do this now and make sure that you have plug-ins in place, to make your content is easily shareable.

I have to agree with David Konisberg, that Press Releases are great for branding and might offer you some short term SEO benefit, but beyond that there's not much more it can do.  
If you have the money I highly suggest using PRWeb as your press release company.  I've always been happy with their service and their high-ranking domain is always a plus.

There's always Google.  If you use the right search operators you can find almost anything that you want without having to crawl through the junk that's often in the serps:  http://www.googleguide.com/advanced_operators.html

A quick search with the following words can often help find the top guest posts in your field or industry, as well:
"submit guest post"
"guest post article"
“guest post by”
 “guest post guidelines”

All of these are great options.

If I can add a great chrome extension is "Web Developer" by Chris Pendrick.  It doesn't do everything you want, but it can gives you a few easy to use SEO tricks right in your browser.

We agree that Facebook posts are seeing less and less featured time on people's walls, but it's important to note that interaction with your posts does increase Facebook's  EdgeRank.

Are you interacting with your viewers and engaging with them?   Creating great content and posting it is a quick way to get more views with your posts.

If your content is changing it will definitely affect your SEO positioning.  Though there's no way of telling if it will have a positive or negative impact.

One thing I would suggest is make sure that you are using the proper keywords in your content(no keyword stuffing) and that you use the proper keywords in page titles, meta, etc.

Beyond that it's all up to the content you put in place.

Ouch!  Our first thought is that having a lot of choices sounds ugly and frustrating, from a user experience side.  Remember you don't want to give your customer too many options, you want to guide them through the process and watch them through a conversion funnel.    
Why don't you just create landing pages and add those to the header?

I believe you're actually referring to Google's Knowledge Graph that is tied in a bit to G+.

Is your G+ account active?  Are you actively posting using it?  If not Google might not see it as a valid account.  You also need to get it verified.

1. Article spinning?  Really, as a long term strategy this doesn't work.

2. Your customers.  Use google tools such as Google Analytics and Google Adwords to find out how they're getting to your site.

3. Never trust a website promising a quick and easy way to get links.  Usually these links have no value and won't serve you any use in the long term.

4. It's effective for buying YouTube views not customers, which is what you want in the long term right?

Let's face it Marketing is hard and sometimes monotonous work, but when done right awesome results do actually happen.  So don't trust any of the quick rich schemes you've mentioned.  Do the work, put the hours in, and you  will see the results.

What Bryan said.  Who-Is is not a factor in the search algorithm.

Directories and Article Submission sites rarely count anymore.  Also remember as a good rule of thumb, if it's easy for you to get I'm sure all of your competitors have got it as well.

Also it's worth pointing out that the guy who wrote the testimonial has a PR of 1, which is just one level above the 0 where all sites begin at.

I would suggest start talking with your current customers and see if a newsletter is something that they would be interested in.  Maybe do a blog post on it, promoting what  will be in your newsletter or even use your social media channels.  It all depends on the level of conversation you are currently having with your clients.  
Even LinkedIn offers you the opportunity to see people's emails if you wanna steal those. Also don't forget to use your email to engage customers, not just push your items.  I recently saw an email that said in the header "first person to email me back with a reply to said question gets a $10 gift card", this will allow you to keep an idea of who is actually engaged with your email and reading it.

My first thoughts are there's no mention of Google+, which we all know is having an impact on SEO and click-through rates.
 I think that SEO and social media have to survive together.  If I'm looking for a new lawn-mower i'm going to search for one online, there's no way that I'm going to use social media to find one.  Though I might ask a question to my followers, I would prefer to do my research online.  There's tons of stuff not talked about in social media that I might have an interest in buying, so SEO is definitely here to stay.

One of our in-house marketers was in a similar situation about a year ago.  Here's what we can say.1) Find out as much information about the company as you can and take a look at their analytics.  Does one website drive traffic more than the others?  Is one more important to the client?  Find out what drives the revenue of the company and start there.  It might be more important to invest money and time from in the top website and trickle down...
2)  Subdomains would probably be the best, but that's not always an option according to the client, we understand.
3) Are all of these websites different brands or just different websites?  For example Burgers.com and Hamburgers.com.  If they're the same site, you definitely need to change them at least cosmetically.  Make sure that they have different call to actions, etc.  Think of it as an A+B test and go from there.  Be creative.  Make one website green and one blue, and always keep in mind duplicant content.
