WP-Tonic | WordPress | SaaS | Bootstrap SaaS | Startups

Why have we decided to talk about this subject? Well, a lot of users of WordPress are small business owners who have physical businesses or have a joint set-up of local business and e-commerce online presence and are using WordPress to build their company's website.

However, for you the small business owner to get any real value from your WordPress powered website it's got to show up in Google local search. Unfortunately, I see so many small business owners making a lot of fundamental mistakes when it comes to getting their WordPress optimized for Google local search.

In this week's show, we have a great guest  Heather Wilde of Roceteer discuss using WordPress as a powerful startup framework not only if you looking at building the next great WordPress plugin or theme but, also using WordPress as a traditional SaaS platform. Using the word traditional is funny if you consider that this whole industry of software as a service model is at most seven years old. However, compared to using other technologies like Ruby on Rails or Java, WordPress can save you a load of development time and money.
