Is your Google Business Profile ready for summer, or is it about to leave customers locked out and looking elsewhere? Summer can be a goldmine for local service businesses… if your online presence is tuned in. But most owners miss out because they forget to: - Update their holiday hours (and lose business to “Closed” signs) - Tell Google about their summer specials or events - Keep their profile fresh and active (Google loves businesses that stay current!) So just follow this GBP Game Plan: 1. Confirm Holiday Hours Don’t let a missed update cost you a customer. Double-check your Google hours for July 4th, Labor Day, and any other summer holidays or special events. If you did this for Memorial Day, you’re ahead of the game, but don’t stop now! 2. Publish Events & Promotions Running summer specials, new services, or local events? Post them directly to your Google profile. If Google doesn’t know, your customers won’t either. 3. Consistently Optimize The businesses that win on Google are the ones that keep things fresh. - Upload new photos - Ask for recent reviews - Publish posts about what’s new - Update your services and info regularly All these signals tell Google you’re active, and help you show up higher in local searches.

Did You Think Your Old Google Reviews Were Safe? Think Again… For years, it seemed like if a Google review made it past the first few weeks, it was there to stay. But the latest research tells a different story: - Out of 335,520 reviews analyzed, 26% were removed more than a year after being posted! - Most removals didn’t happen right away 77% disappeared after day 10 or later. - Some reviews vanished overnight after sitting quietly for over a year, with no warning or explanation. So what’s going on? Every time Google updates its algorithm, it seems to re-check old reviews, even the ones that looked “safe.” The rise of smarter, AI-powered review checks means no review is ever truly permanent. Why does this matter? If you manage multiple profiles or care about your business’s reputation, losing reviews suddenly (especially old ones) can be a real headache. What can you do? - Check review history regularly, not just when you’re pushing for new ones. - Watch for clusters of reviews disappearing on the same day. - Keep a steady flow of genuine, policy-compliant reviews coming in. - Screenshot genuine reviews, so you have a copy of them - Use software to capture all your genuine reviews Let’s hear from you!

A client asked me why he wasn't ranking higher on Google Maps. So I did what his customers do. I clicked his profile and went to his website. 11 seconds to load. 70% of his visitors were on mobile. Every one of them was hitting the back button and landing on his competitor. He had no idea his website was doing this to him. Go to your main service page right now and check how fast it loads on mobile. If it's over 3 seconds you've got a problem that's quietly costing you calls. I show you exactly how to fix it in this video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4FaRqipuUNg
