The Future of Local SEO for Lawyers & AI Search Strategies with Phil Rozek

Jared Correia opens with a nostalgic look back at network television, the loss of TV monoculture, and NBC's forgotten 2012 high-concept drama Awake starring Jason Isaacs.  In the guest interview, Phil Rozek, CEO of Local Visibility System, breaks down the fundamentals of local search for law firms and location-bound businesses. Phil discusses how attorneys should adapt to Google AI Overviews, why foundational local SEO strategy remains unkillable, the ROI of YouTube long-form content vs. traditional social platforms, and the crucial trade-offs between hiring an industry-specialist versus a generalist SEO vendor.  We close out in the Counter Program with "Fill-Ins," a retro TV trivia game testing Phil on famous sitcom recasting decisions across classics like The Dukes of Hazzard, Bewitched, The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, and Roseanne.Learn more about Phil Rozek and the Local Visibility System.
