Tim Kahlert on Building the #1 Local SEO Community, Ranking GBP, and Conversion Optimization

In this episode of Local Marketing Secrets, Danny Leibrandt sits down with Tim Kahlert — founder of Hyptrix, author of The Local SEO Bible, and leader of the largest Local SEO Facebook group with over 100,000 members. Tim shares his incredible journey from being broke and living in a van in Australia to becoming one of the most recognized and influential voices in the Local SEO space.

Throughout the conversation, Tim breaks down what really moves the needle in Google Business Profiles, why conversions matter more than rankings, and how to structure a website for maximum impact. He also dives into the lessons he’s learned from building a thriving community, creating his massive Local SEO checklist, and helping businesses cut through the noise of conflicting advice to focus on what actually works.

The two also explore the future of Local SEO in the era of AI, discussing press releases, reviews, and the role of conversions in driving sustainable growth. Tim’s no-nonsense, testing-driven approach offers practical takeaways for local marketers, agency owners, and business leaders alike.

If you want to know what’s working right now in Local Search and hear honest, actionable insights from someone who has tested it all, this is an episode you won’t want to miss.
