Mike Blumenthal, Co-Founder of Get Five Stars and Local SEO Genius, joins MozPod with host Brian Childs to chat about the new Question and Answers Feature in Google Local listings. The Q&A feature came out in late 2017 and shows up on knowledge panel results for businesses. Mike reviews some of the analysis he has done on Q&A users by industry vertical, the opportunities and shortcomings of this feature, and how businesses can get ahead using his framework. Q&A appears to provide a great opportunity for agencies to provide value to their clients, so definitely listen for some of Mike's nuggets of wisdom.
