Quick Google Business Profile check:

When did you last check your:

✓ Business category
✓ Services
✓ Service area
✓ Hours
✓ Photos
✓ Reviews and responses
✓ Website and phone number

If your answer is “I have no idea,” you're probably not alone.

For many small businesses, Google is where the customer meets you before they ever reach your website.

So don't just have a Google Business Profile.

Know what's in it.

At Google, No One Hears Your Screams

Your Google Business Profile is important. Be careful with it.

We've worked with service-area businesses that had perfectly functioning Google Business Profiles — until an innocent-looking change triggered a new verification request.

And then the nightmare began.

No storefront to photograph. No sign on the building. Automated verification systems that don't understand the business. Appeals that go nowhere.

Our experience has taught us something uncomfortable:

Once a legitimate business gets caught in Google verification limbo, it can be extraordinarily difficult to get out.

We've had cases we simply couldn't fix.

That's why we're cautious about making unnecessary changes to an established Google Business Profile — including our own.

Google is enormously important to small businesses. But when something goes wrong, finding an actual human being who can fix it can feel impossible.

Or, as we've come to describe it:

At Google, no one hears your screams.

Do You Know What’s in Your Google Business Profile?

You have a Google Business Profile. Great.

But when was the last time you actually went through it?

I was reviewing Panorama Marketing Group’s profile this week and was reminded just how much Google Business Profile has changed over the years.

Services. Categories. Hours. Photos. Reviews. Service areas. Business information. There’s a lot more going on than simply making sure your phone number is correct.

And some settings that made sense when you originally created your profile may not be the best choices today.

For many small businesses, your Google Business Profile is what a potential customer sees before they ever visit your website.

So here’s this week’s question:

You have a Google Business Profile. But do you know what’s in it?

Small business owners — is your online marketing getting away from you?

Maybe your website needs updating. Maybe you're not showing up on Google the way you should. Or Facebook and your email list have simply been sitting there because you don't have time to deal with them.

That's where I come in.

I'm Pat Wright, owner of Panorama Marketing Group in La Mesa. I work directly with small businesses on websites, Google, email marketing and social media — without the expense or runaround of a big agency.

Tell me what's not working. Let's see if I can help.

AI found your business. Great. Now ask a harder question.

What does AI think you do?

When I tested Panorama Marketing Group, AI didn't simply return our name and address.

It described us as helping local neighborhood businesses with email marketing, social media and local search.

That's important.

Because being found isn't enough if AI has the wrong idea about your company.

Your website, Google Business Profile, reviews, directories and other mentions around the web all help create a picture of your business.

So here's your weekend homework:

Ask an AI tool to recommend a business like yours.

If you appear, read the description carefully.

Is that how you want potential customers to understand your business?

Don't ask AI about your business. Ask AI for your business.

There's a big difference.

If you own Joe's Plumbing, asking:

“Tell me about Joe's Plumbing”

doesn't tell you very much.

Instead, try:

“Who can fix a leaking pipe near me?”

Own a cleaning company?

“Who can clean my office every week?”

Run an accounting firm?

“Good accountant for a small business near me.”

Now you're testing something important:

Does AI consider your business an answer to a customer's problem?

That's the test small businesses should start paying attention to.

Does AI know your business exists?

For years, small businesses have worried about whether they show up on Google.

There's a new test.

Ask ChatGPT, Gemini or another AI tool for the kind of business you operate — without using your business name.

I tried:

“Agency to help small businesses in La Mesa.”

Panorama Marketing Group showed up.

That's what you want. AI didn't just know our name. It understood what we do, who we serve and where we do it.

Try it with your own business.

Don't search for yourself.

Search the way a potential customer would search for you.

Did AI find you?

🤖 Is AI Looking at Your LinkedIn Profile?

If you own a small business, here's a question worth asking:

Should you post on your LinkedIn company page or your personal profile first?

As AI becomes better at understanding businesses online, your digital footprint matters more than ever. Your website, Google Business Profile, reviews—and yes, LinkedIn—all help tell your story.

In my latest article, I discuss why I believe your company page should serve as your business's official record, while your personal profile helps build trust and engagement by putting a face behind the brand.

It's not just about getting likes today—it's about building a consistent online presence that customers (and AI) can understand tomorrow.

How do you use LinkedIn?
Do you post more often on your personal profile or your company page? I'd love to hear what has worked for you.
