Happy National Dog Day! 🐾

One of the perks of working from my home office is having the best coworkers around. Honey and Lincoln keep me company through website builds, SEO projects, Google Ads campaigns, client calls, and everything in between.

They may not contribute much to the workload, but they definitely make the workday better. ❤️

Here’s to all the four-legged “coworkers” who make working from home a little more fun!

🚨 Local business owners: watch out for this scam.

One of my clients received a 1-star Google review this week from someone they couldn’t find anywhere in their customer records. Soon after, the calls started.

The callers claimed they could have the negative review removed within an hour for $400.

🚩 Do NOT pay them or give them your credit card information.

This appears to be a scam designed to pressure business owners into paying to remove a suspicious review. There are legitimate ways to report and appeal Google reviews that violate Google’s policies—you don’t need to hand your company credit card over to a stranger calling you.

In this case, the repeated calls came from a 415 San Francisco-area number.

If a suspicious negative review suddenly appears and someone conveniently calls offering to remove it for a fee, consider that a major red flag.

Be vigilant. Protect your business and your payment information.

🚨 Big changes are coming to Google Local Services Ads.

Beginning in August 2026, Google will start migrating eligible Local Services Ads accounts into the Google Ads platform.

If your business relies on GLSAs for leads, here are a few things you need to know:

✅ Staying the same:
• You’ll still pay per lead
• Ads will continue appearing in familiar Google Search and Maps placements
• You still won’t manage these campaigns with traditional keywords

⚠️ Changing:
• Campaign management will move into Google Ads
• Budget management will change
• Your historical LSA performance reports will not automatically transfer - export the data before your migration date

One important step: Export your historical reports before your migration date so you don’t lose access to that data.

Google says account administrators will receive an email 14 days before their scheduled migration, so keep an eye on the email associated with your account.

👉 Read Google's official Local Services Ads migration announcement https://support.google.com/google-ads/answer/17213585

Not sure what this means for your business or want help managing the transition? Carolina Digital Marketing can help.

Today is Son and Daughter Day, and I couldn’t let it pass without recognizing the two biggest reasons behind everything I do. ❤️

Myles and Charli are my WHY.

They motivate me to keep going, dream bigger, and build something I’m proud of—not just for myself, but for our family.

Happy Son and Daughter Day to my two favorite people. I love you both more than you’ll ever know! ❤️
