The number of times I use AI is insane! :) Here's a few ways I use it for business: writing and fixing emails so they have a much friendlier tone. code review (fixing something missed in code) analytics interpretation log error interpretation (that it can be explained to a client) keyword...

We're seeing things return on our end too; The count for one of our clients is currently at 651 (up from 576 this morning and 614 yesterday). We have a couple that haven't moved since this morning, but hopefully, we'll see it shake out in the next day or two.

Just wanted to chime in that I have a client that lost 80+ reviews. We're just starting his investigation to see what ones dropped. He's in the House Cleaning business (maids etc) and is in a business group with 10 others. So far, 6 are reporting big drops, but they didn't have any reporting...

One of our more active clients are posting constantly, both Facebook and Instagram. They usually have 3 posts per day on Facebook, which includes 1 (Facebook?) Reel. We don't handle anything to do with Social Medai, so they have their own in-house person for that. It looks like the post gets...

We have them running on Facebook on a regular basis. Works great from a branding perspective. Along with their normal facebook promotions, usually one or two per week are targeting on various reviews. Also used in some of the video shorts (15 second videos) where it has the review, an image flip...

#1 local and #4 organic all day long - IF that's your service area. In organic search, #4 local (maps) wouldn't normally show unless they click into the "More Businesses" button.

For us, we only do SEO and WordPress Design/Programming. All social posts, videos, etc are all done by someone else. There are some people that want an all-in-one package, but the clients we work with all either take care of the social themselves, or have someone else doing social. We work...

Well, it's been escalated now. WP Engine is officially suing Automattic et al. Matt posted the terms sheet for what they demand, such as payment, specifications not to fork software, etc. It's almost like he hasn't read his own GPL in a while. Cloudflare jumped into the mix, too, offering to...

I can see both sides, but going public with it in an attempt of public shaming, and then saying things along the lines of 'vote with your dollars. do you really want to support someone that doesn't support you' (not a direct quote - a summary of what was said. In the end, blocking WPEngine from...

Google treats a subdomain just like it would treat a separate domain. The only advantage is that it's directly associated with the main domain, but from an SEO perspective, they're a 100% separate site and require twice the effort as mentioned above.

It's worth setting up if the clientele relies on BBB reviews. It has no inherent SEO value. I wrote a brief article back in 2015 when BBB removed the "dofollow" link from their directories to the the websites. At the same time, we have various clients who require the BBB listing/logo...

I've never received a notice for review removal. I'll see them for GBP edits where we edit the name of another person's business, but I've never seen a review confirmation like this. Just to clarify, you reported it as a fake review from your business profile right? It wasn't someone else who...

Same as Colan, we use Type A 99% of the time. It's rare that we would go outside of that structure.

Hey Rob, if you want to DM me the business name and the address location where the map pin should be, I can try run the request on my end and see what happens.

I'm not bashing Chris for the stuff he puts out, but just take it with a grain of salt. There's a lot of spammy tactics that he promotes on his videos. I used to watch his videos on occasion to see if there was anything new being talked about, but I rarely see a video these days. As Adam...
