(My Search Engine Journal Feature) How Google Reviews Affect AI Search Before I head out for a quick family vacation this weekend (my wife officially finished another term of nursing school 🎉), I wanted to jump on here because we’ve got something BIG happening next week. On Thursday, June 4th, I’m hosting a special live training: How Google Reviews Affect AI Search And honestly…This may be one of the most important shifts local businesses and agencies need to understand right now. We already had over 1,000 people register for the original Search Engine Journal version of this training, and because of how impactful it was, they’re now actively sending their audience to this expanded live session as well. Here’s the reality: AI search is changing how customers discover and choose businesses. Platforms like: - ChatGPT - Google AI Overviews - Gemini - AI-powered search experiences …are no longer just showing links. They’re actively influencing which businesses get recommended FIRST. And one of the biggest signals these systems rely on? Google Reviews. But not just star ratings anymore. We’re talking about: - the language inside reviews - owner responses - consistency of review activity - Google Business Profile engagement - trust signals over time This is becoming AI trust infrastructure. On this live call I’m going to break down: ✅ Why some businesses are being recommended while competitors are ignored ✅ How reviews help AI systems understand what a business actually does ✅ Why keyword research has changed in the AI era ✅ How agencies can build “always-on” trust signal systems for clients ✅ How to operationalize this across multiple businesses without creating a giant manual mess ✅ Why reviews are becoming MUCH more than social proof And here’s the cool part… When you register for the webinar, I’m also giving you access to my AI Recommendation Playbook that we originally shared with hundreds of attendees from the Search Engine Journal event.

First...YES! We are REALLY Doing this and had 6 bookings since this recording. And we are RAMPING this up over the holiday weekend! Now to the real issue at hand.... Most agencies don’t fail because they suck at fulfillment. They fail because they never build a consistent outbound system. OR Most of the "fake" Agency trainers in our space make stuff up to sell you something new every week with their 10K a month system. And to be honest it's pathetic and sickening to see. That’s why I just recorded something different. This is Fully transparent, 100% Real, and Over the Shoulder. Not theory. Not “AI bro” fluff. Not fake results or family and friend "clients". And something we added into my Agency and Reviewly. Here's the deal, I brought in an actual real world professional BDR @Evan Cosner who has spent the last 6 YEARS booking demos every single day for companies. Not 6 days, 6 weeks, or even 6 months. 6 Years....That's the same thing for over 2,000 Days. And in that time he's booked over a thousand meetings. 1,000! So in this training we’re breaking down the exact system he uses to: - book demos - start conversations - follow up correctly - use LinkedIn - use Facebook DMs - use cold email - and build a pipeline WITHOUT needing a giant funnel or ad budget. What hit me hard during this recording was this: Most people quit WAY too early. Meanwhile…some of Evan’s biggest booked deals came from the 5th…6th…even 7th follow-up. Not because he’s pushy. Because most business owners are just busy. This course is going to show you: - The simple 3x3 outbound system - How to find the RIGHT local businesses - What to say - How to follow up - How to get replies without sounding salesy - How to do this in your spare time - And how to book your first client WITHOUT cold calling all day And honestly? This is probably one of the easiest “first client” systems we’ve released because you can literally start with:

I just got off a call with a brand new student inside this group… No team. Works 6 days a week. Nights. Not “ready. ”Not “perfect.” And still… 👉 Landed his first client in ~10–14 days 👉 Used nothing but the training + a phone 👉 Didn’t even have the physical product yet 👉 Just took action Let that sink in. 💥 Here’s the part most of you are ignoring: - He didn’t “feel ready” - He didn’t wait to understand everything - He didn’t overthink the dashboard - He didn’t ask 47 questions before starting He did ONE thing… 👉 He went and talked to a business owner That’s it. 🧠 The truth you might not like: Everything you need is already here. - The training → done - The scripts → done - The offer → done - The proof → done You are not stuck… 👉 You’re hesitating. ⚡ What actually made him win: - Saw low reviews → opportunity - Showed the offer → simple yes - Took action fast → got paid He literally said: “It couldn’t be easier.” 🔥 Meanwhile… Some of you are: - Watching more videos instead of taking action - Tweaking your site for the 9th time - Waiting to “understand everything first” That’s how you stay broke. 🧭 Here’s your move (today, not tomorrow): 1. Pick ONE business 2. Look at their reviews 3. If it sucks → you have your opening 4. Show them the solution 5. Shut up and let them say yes 💬 Final Reality Check: This isn’t hard. You’re just not doing it. And the longer you sit… 👉 The further behind you fall from people who just started messy. 🚀 Your challenge: Go get your first yes in the next 48 hours Then come back here and post it. No excuses. If You're Ready to be like @Kevin Casanova and close deal #1 fast and have others waiting for you in line...take this as your sign. It's time to stop learning and start earning! Let's GO!! -Herschy P.S. Drop him a Congrats! in the comments. Dude is legit and took action.
