One of our clients tried to catch up on months of neglected Google Business Profile maintenance all at once. Shortly afterward, their listing was suspended. 🤯 ⚠️

We can’t say with certainty that the two events were connected— but there’s enough here that business owners should understand the potential risk before trying the same thing.

For years, most small businesses treated Google and social media as two separate marketing channels: You did SEO and managed your Google presence in one place, and then you posted to Facebook and Instagram over there.

Google is starting to blur that line.

It’s still early, and there’s plenty we don’t know yet— but what Google is doing now gives us a pretty interesting look at where they may be headed. If you don't want your small business to get left in the dust, pay attention now. We break down what’s happening on our blog: https://www.prospectgenius.com/blog/google-is-pulling-social-media-closer-to-search-heres-why-that-matters/

Adding location pages is one of the most-requested SEO services we offer these days.

It makes sense: If you serve a bunch of different towns, you want people in those towns to find you— but be careful! There’s a lot of bad advice out there about how these pages should be built.

We recently stumbled across a website that provides an almost perfect case study in what NOT to do. If location pages are part of your SEO strategy, give this a read: https://www.prospectgenius.com/blog/location-pages-gone-wrong-a-real-world-example-of-how-not-to-build-local-seo-pages/

Small business owners might've heard some concerning news lately: did Google really ban your customers from mentioning your employees names in reviews?

This sounds alarming. Your customers probably mention employee names in their reviews all of the time! Will you lose those reviews? 😱

We've gone to the source and taken a close look at the rule, what changed with Google's previous policy, and what every small business owner should know. Read more on our blog: https://www.prospectgenius.com/blog/did-google-really-ban-employee-names-in-reviews/

Trying to save a few bucks on your website before launching Google Ads? Be careful where you cut costs! ⚠️

There's a shortcut that many small business owners try to take that will end up costing you way more in the long run. 😱 Read more on our blog: https://www.prospectgenius.com/blog/what-you-save-on-your-website-may-cost-you-three-times-more-in-ppc/

You’re asking customers for reviews— but are you asking the right way? ⭐🤔

A small change in how you make the request could make the reviews you receive much more valuable. Learn more on our blog: https://www.prospectgenius.com/blog/tweak-your-ask-get-more-useful-reviews/

Your small business's website isn't just there to impress potential customers anymore.

Today, customers may discover your business through Google Maps, a Google Business Profile, ChatGPT, or a local search result before they ever visit your website. You might think that makes your website less important, but that's not necessarily true. In many ways, it makes it more important.

How so? Read more on our blog: https://www.prospectgenius.com/blog/your-website-has-three-jobs-convincing-humans-ranks-third/

Your Google Business Profile might actually be telling Google NOT to show your business. 🚫

Wait, what? Why? 😱

Here's the answer: Your listed hours can influence whether you appear when customers search. If a potential customer searchers for you at 8PM, and your Google profile says you closed at 6PM, you might not show up at all.

So, how do you get around this? Learn more:

When your potential customers ask ChatGPT to recommend a local business, what determines if you get mentioned? 🤔

AI does not rely exclusively on traditional Google rankings. The criteria is a little different this time around. Our blog explains what AI looks for, why traditional SEO still matters, and how you can make sure your small business comes out on top.
