More stars don’t always mean more trust.

Fake reviews might seem like a shortcut to better visibility, but they often create the opposite effect. Today’s customers are incredibly good at spotting reviews that feel forced, generic, or inauthentic. Once trust starts to disappear, so do clicks, conversions, and long-term loyalty.

And it’s not just a reputation issue.

Fake reviews can impact SEO performance, reduce the effectiveness of paid advertising, distort customer feedback, and even create legal risks.

The best review strategy isn’t manufacturing trust. It’s earning it.

In our latest blog, we explore how fake reviews affect SEO, PPC, customer behavior, and what businesses should be doing instead.

We spend most days optimizing campaigns.

This day? We were making pocket knives.

Throwback to a DC team outing at Lawless Forge where we traded laptops for anvils and built something sharp.

Yes, everyone still has all their fingers.

Meet Pranali Gotpagar, our Director of Paid Media.

Pranali has grown with PBJ from intern to Director of Paid Media, helping lead a team that navigates the constantly evolving world of digital marketing. Her role involves turning mountains of campaign data into clear, actionable insights that help clients make smarter decisions and achieve better results.

One of her favorite things about PBJ? The people, the culture, and yes… the fact that we have a mascot. 🥜🍇

Fun fact: While she may not make a great espresso martini, she’s become quite the espresso enthusiast and enjoys experimenting with different flavors and creating latte art.

Current obsessions: Pottery and making elaborate ice cream flavors from scratch.

Outside of work, you’ll find Pranali working her way through her ever-growing restaurant list, following Formula 1, and collecting hobbies faster than she can keep up with them. (According to her, there’s currently a guitar in the corner of her room judging her for this.)

Thanks for everything you do, Pranali!

The future of search may happen before a click ever occurs.

For years, marketers have measured success through rankings, traffic, and conversions. But as AI-powered search tools continue to grow, visibility is becoming much harder to measure.

Today, a potential customer may discover your brand, get answers to their questions, compare providers, and make decisions before ever visiting your website.

That means marketers need to think beyond traditional SEO.

🔹 AI visibility can’t be measured by traffic alone.
🔹 Authority matters more than ever.
🔹 Content needs to be structured so AI can understand and cite it.
🔹 Brands that adapt early will have a significant advantage.

The question isn’t whether AI search will evolve.

It’s whether your strategy will evolve with it.

It’s tempting to scale spend as soon as something starts working. More budget feels like progress.

But if you don’t understand why it’s working, scaling too fast can break what made it successful in the first place.

Was it the audience? The message? The creative? The timing?
Without clarity, increasing spend often leads to higher costs, weaker performance, and confusing results.

The strongest campaigns scale intentionally: after testing, learning, and validating what’s driving performance.

At PBJ, we focus on understanding the signal before turning up the volume. That’s how growth stays efficient and sustainable.
