Looking to learn more about “geo tagging” and search engine optimization

Google does not reveal all its secrets. Any why should it? The thing about SEO is that you’ll probably want to look at it as a part of your whole web strategy. My experience from consulting several clients around the globe was that the real SEO power came from regularly reoccurring articles. That is why I’m a bit fan of corporate blogs and implement them where ever I get a chance to. As for the positioning of your business on Google Maps et. al.: Manually implement them there with what is now called Google Places. That way you’ll be registered for sure and have control over that entry. Hope I was able to help.
