Google doesn't care whether a human or a model wrote your content. It only cares whether the page adds anything.

That was one line from our Q3 webinar. It's already changed how we're briefing clients this quarter.

Two more that landed hard:

Model releases have gone from every six months to every month.

99% of AI-expanded impressions in Google Ads converted nothing.

Rob, Neil, Liam and Emlyn covered SEO, web and AI, paid media and audience questions last week.

Google's had your Business Profile as the top local ranking factor since 2018. Most SMEs still treat it as an afterthought.

Here's the problem in 2026: zero-click search is now the default. People want your hours, your number, your directions right there in the results. If your profile's missing that, they're clicking through to a competitor instead.

Getting it right isn't complicated, but it is easy to get wrong. Core details need to be accurate and consistent. Reviews need a steady drip, not an occasional flurry. Photos need to be real, not stock or AI-generated (both actively erode customer trust). And your description needs to speak to your audience, not tick a box.

We've put together a full seven-step checklist covering all of it, including how to turn your profile into an actual conversion engine rather than just a directory listing.

Full breakdown below.
