How I created a Local SEO-Driven WordPress website in 1 hour

This morning, I got curious about the competitiveness of a specific keyword in the Google Map (a.k.a. “Local SEO”).

Here’s the video walkthrough about how I created a new SEO-friendly marketing website in WordPress in about an hour’s time:

Let me know if you have ideas for improvement,
