If you run a local service business, you know the game. The businesses at the top of Google Maps get all the calls. Everyone else is fighting for scraps. I just searched "Dental Office Toronto" and the top results have 1,000+ reviews with the owner replying to almost every single one. That's what Google wants to see. Active engagement. Consistent replies. Fresh reviews coming in. Here's the problem: This takes years to build manually. And if you're not replying to reviews, you're falling behind in the algorithm. Here's the solution: AI can do all of this for you now. 🎯 Three ways AI helps you rank higher on Google Maps: 1. AI Follow-Up via SMS When a lead comes in, AI sends them a text automatically. When you complete a service, AI sends them a Google review link via SMS. No manual work. 2. AI Follow-Up via Email Same concept. Lead comes in, AI follows up. Service completed, AI requests a review. All automated. 3. AI Google Review Auto-Reply The top businesses reply to every review. But when you have hundreds of reviews, that's hours of work. AI handles this for you, keeping you active in Google's algorithm without the time investment. The critical mistake most businesses make: They blast their entire customer list asking for reviews all at once. Google flags this and can actually ban you from the Maps pack. You need consistent pacing. Steady review requests over time. That's what looks natural to Google's algorithm. Tools you can use: Go High Level is the best option if you want to set this up yourself. It handles SMS follow-up, email automation, review requests, and even AI chatbots for booking appointments. Fair warning: It's advanced. There's a learning curve. If you're always on-site or don't want to deal with the tech, we handle this at Next World Labs. We help local service businesses rank higher on Google Maps using AI automation. Bottom line: Your competition is either doing this already or about to start. The businesses that win in local markets over the next few years will be the ones using AI to scale what used to take manual effort.

How to Recreate ANY YouTube Workflow 🔓 🤖 Just dropped a video showing you how to reverse-engineer and build ANY n8n workflow from YouTube tutorials - even if the template is behind a paywall or unavailable! I know we've all been there - you see an awesome automation in a video, but the creator doesn't share the template or it's locked behind a membership. Well, not anymore 👀 Here's what the video covers: 🔹 Finding and selecting the automation you want to replicate 🔹 Using Apify to scrape the FULL video transcription (not just summaries) 🔹 Removing timestamps with Claude for clean input 🔹 Setting up Claude Projects with the perfect prompt 🔹 Auto-generating importable n8n JSON workflows 🔹 Fine-tuning and customizing the results I walked through recreating Nate Herk's newsletter automation workflow as an example (shout out to Nate - obviously he shares his templates, but this shows you the power of the method). The best part? Claude builds you a downloadable JSON file that imports directly into n8n. You get about 80-90% of the way there automatically, then you just add your own tweaks and API keys. This is a total game-changer for learning from other creators and building your automation library without waiting for template drops or paying for access. Pro tip: Add n8n documentation and a few example workflows to your Claude Project for even better results! Peace ✌️ 📺 Watch the tutorial: https://youtu.be/wNYrp8DNQ7o
