Sharing this from my business page because it directly affects a lot of you.

If you own a home services business in Fayetteville and your phone has felt quieter the last few weeks, this is probably why.

Worth two minutes.

Your Money or Your Life.

That's the actual Google framework your business now sits inside of. If you’re an HVAC, plumbing, roofing, or home services business owner, this is for you.

If that's not you, scroll on.

⬇️

And most owners have no idea it happened.

Between February and April, Google shipped three back-to-back updates.

The biggest one ran from March 27 to April 8.

It changed how home services businesses get found.

Here's what most owners are about to figure out the hard way:

If your website has a stack of city pages that all read the same way...

HVAC Repair in Fayetteville.
HVAC Repair in Hope Mills.
HVAC Repair in Spring Lake.

You likely took a hit, or will take a hit.

Industry data shows thin and templated content dropped 30 to 50 percent in organic visibility.

Why?

Google now treats hiring a home services pro the same way it treats picking a doctor.

A stranger entering your home is a trust transaction.

The wrong choice has real consequences.

The algorithm finally caught up to that reality.

The good news?

Businesses that publish real local detail, real photos, real customer stories, and real expertise gained 15 to 25 percent.

If you haven't checked your traffic since April 8, you're running on a pre-update playbook.

But what about the map pack and AI overview? Check the comments below for how those areas are impacted ⬇️

Recently, I've been thinking a lot about how AI is changing the way we do work.

I started dabbling with ChatGPT in 2023. My biggest takeaway after going hard in this space for the past year: at its core, AI is a force multiplier and a time multiplier.

To get better output from the models, I've had to learn to communicate my own thoughts and ideas with more precision than ever before. Side effect: I'm a sharper communicator now, with clients, with my team, with my family.

I also have a roundtable of experts to bounce ideas off of at any hour. Nothing I build is happening in a vacuum anymore.

I don't have a masters in software engineering. I have an MBA, a nuclear pharmacy background, Lean Six Sigma, and several years of web design experience. That foundation helped me wield the tools. The tools closed the gap.

I'm not getting more sleep. I'm getting more done. In the last twelve months I've designed, built, and deployed multiple agent teams across my own business, my wife's salon, and several clients.

I deployed an enterprise grade AI concierge for my wife's salon with software engineer level results.

I built a nonprofit scholarship website in days. A year ago, that would have taken me 4 to 6 weeks.

This past tax season, I turned 5 pages of scribbled notes into a clean Google Sheet in 15 minutes.

Lately I feel like Neo after the download. Except instead of kung fu, it's systems thinking, code, copy, and strategy. Work that used to require ten of me is now happening with one of me.

The honest part nobody talks about: AI didn't hand me these skills. I 10xed, maybe 20xed my own capabilities over the last year, but the learning curve was brutal. Grok, ChatGPT, and most recently Claude were the partners that made the climb possible, not the elevator that skipped it.

If you're at the bottom of that hill right now:

Jump in. Get your hands dirty. Be prepared for extreme frustration. And if you see it through, a better way and a better version of you are waiting on the other side.

How is AI changing the way you work?
