🚨 SEO. AIO. GEO. AEO.
At this point, local marketing is starting to sound like alphabet soup.
If you're a contractor or home service business owner, you might be wondering:

Short answer: Nope.
Here’s the truth:
✅ SEO is still the foundation
✅ Helpful content still wins
✅ Fast, mobile-friendly websites still matter
✅ Reviews and local trust signals still matter
The new buzzwords mostly come down to this:
