This guest blog about Contextual Search and corresponding SEO A/B Case Study comes our way from Koray Tuğberk GÜBÜR, Founder at Holistic SEO & Digital.

I remember when I was first confronted with a question related to local seo vs national SEO. When I first started learning about search marketing, I asked a friend for help with a local business.
