Are you accidentally hurting your Google Business Profile?

Sometimes the biggest threats to your local visibility aren't the things you're not doing. They're the things you think are helping.

We've seen businesses make well-intentioned changes that actually raise red flags with Google. Updating core business information too often, adding your phone number to every post, or taking shortcuts with reviews can all work against you.

The reality is that Google is rewarding businesses that provide accurate information, authentic customer experiences, and consistent activity. Trying to "game the system" usually creates more problems than it solves.

In our latest blog, we share three of the most common Google Business Profile mistakes we see and what you should do instead.

If your business depends on local customers finding you online, this is worth a five-minute read.

**Facebook**

A new logo won't fix a weak brand.

There. I said it.

Too many organizations think the answer is a new look, when what they really need is a better story.

If people don't understand who you are, what you do, or why they should choose you, changing your logo won't solve the problem.

Branding isn't about graphics.

It's about strategy.

It's about positioning.

It's about giving people a reason to care.

That's why I wrote **"Your Logo Isn't Your Problem."**

If you've ever wondered why your marketing isn't getting the results you expected, this one's worth five minutes of your time.

I'd love to hear your thoughts.

Have you ever seen an organization spend money fixing the wrong problem?

🎉 Happy International Joke Day! 🎉

Some people collect souvenirs when they travel. We collected dad jokes.

After years of road trips, terrible puns, eye rolls, and "Did you really just say that?" moments, *Dad Jokes on the Road* was born. It's packed with travel-inspired humor, groan-worthy one-liners, and the kind of jokes that make kids sigh while adults laugh anyway.

This book is especially close to my heart because it honors the memory of my dear friend and creative partner, Patrick King. Patrick never missed an opportunity to make people smile, and that's exactly the spirit behind these pages.

Even better, **100% of the proceeds benefit the Patrick King Art Student Scholarship**, helping support the next generation of artists and creative thinkers.

So today, in honor of International Joke Day, I'll leave you with this:

**Why did the scarecrow win an award? Because he was outstanding in his field.** 🌽😄

If that made you smile (or at least roll your eyes), you'll fit right in.

Here's to laughter, lasting memories, and keeping Patrick's legacy alive, one dad joke at a time. ❤️

Your organization has grown.

Has your brand grown with it?

Many organizations assume they need a new logo when something feels "off." In reality, the issue is often much bigger. Your messaging, website, audience, and overall identity may no longer reflect who you are today.

If your organization has evolved over the past few years, it may be time to ask an important question:

Does our brand still tell the right story?

In our latest article, we explore 10 signs your organization has outgrown its brand and explain why a strategic rebrand is about much more than changing your visual identity.

Whether you're a business, nonprofit, municipality, chamber of commerce, healthcare organization, or tourism destination, these insights can help you evaluate whether your brand is supporting your future—or holding you back.

Romantic trips are about more than just getting away. They are about slowing down, reconnecting, and sharing meaningful moments together 💕
