On May 26, 2022, something remarkable happened. The brightest minds in local SEO came together, not just for industry insights but for a cause that resonates far beyond the digital marketing space. Local SEO for Ukraine LIVE wasn't your average conference. Sure, it had all the experts, all the high-value talks, and actionable takeaways. But every single cent raised? It went straight to grassroots efforts supporting Ukraine in its time of greatest need. That’s what makes this event stand out.
Top-Notch Speakers, Next-Level Insights
The speaker lineup was insane, and if you were lucky enough to snag a ticket, you got to hear from local SEO legends like Mike Blumenthal, Joy Hawkins, and Mike King. We’re talking hours of knowledge bombs, from building local content machines to tackling spam listings like a pro. These aren’t just industry tips; they’re game-changers for any business serious about dominating local SEO.
“Photos, reviews, and local content—these are the trifecta that can elevate your Google Business Profile,” said Mike Blumenthal, underscoring how visual content plays a crucial role in local search success. Whether you were interested in scaling a local link-building strategy or completing a deep competitor audit, the conference had something for every marketer ready to level up.
Why Local SEO? Why Ukraine?
SEO isn’t just about algorithms or search results—it’s about people. And when it came to Ukraine, this wasn’t just an abstract concept. Many of the event organizers had direct ties to Ukraine, and the war made this personal. That’s why it wasn’t just a learning experience. It was a lifeline. The funds raised went directly toward medical and humanitarian supplies for both civilians and soldiers in Ukraine.
“We’re aiming to raise $100,000,” said one organizer, “and every dollar makes a difference in providing crucial support for families in need.”
