At the 2015 Rocks Digital Marketing Conference, Justin Liles will be participating in not one, but two very important sessions. On June 29th Justin will be one of the “Tech Talkers” on the Geek Chat Panel, moderated by Tony Cecala. Following up on June 30th he’ll be dropping more knowledge bombs as one of the panelists on the Rocks Digital Marketing Q & A Expert Marketing closing on the 2nd day of the conferences.

Justin comes to us from  Advice Interactive Group where he is the Senior Vice President of Local Search and leads a team of more than 300 people. In this position, Justin has overseen the submission of more than 1 million business listings to directory sites through Local Site Submit, an Advice Technology.

When Justin began his career in Internet marketing in May 2009 selling online visibility services and  quickly learned how businesses were placed on the major search engines as well as the best ways to help them dominate their local search area.

Justin started with Advice, as a contractor through his company, working in the trenches handling the set up and optimization of Google Local business listings. In November 2011 Justin’s company was acquired by Advice Interactive Group allowing Justin the ability to move up through the ranks to his current Senior VP position.  With degrees from Temple University, University of San Francisco and Full Sail University, he is well versed in sound business practices and all facets of Internet marketing.

When he is not “incognito” with search and local SEO, you can find him practicing martial arts, hanging at the closest beach or spending time with the people he loves.

We here at Rocks Digital are excited to learn more from Justin and the other panelists at this year’s 4th annual Rocks Digital Marketing Conference which will be held June 29th and 30th at the Addison Conference Center in Addison, Texas.  If you want Justin Liles to answer some of your local SEO questions be sure to register now!

This session is not for the light hearted but those that enjoy getting geeky and really technical. You’ll hear words like SERP, algorithm, page speed, schema markup, crawlers, themes and plugins. We have brought together some tech talkers to challenge your thoughts and stretch your minds. Be ready to Google, because there will surely be one acronym you’ll have to look up for a translation. Let’s get geeky!

Meet the other tech talkers – Jared Carrizales, Justin Liles & Ryan Nielsen.
