ChatGPT - When We're Using It and When We're Not

ChatGPT - When We're Using It and When We're Not

Introducing ChatGPT, the AI-powered language model that's taking the world by storm. But is it really as good as they say it is? In this video, we explore the capabilities of ChatGPT and discuss when and when not to use it. While it's undoubtedly a sophisticated tool that can write recipes, code, and copy, developers have found that it can make mistakes, so it's best not to rely on it entirely for those purposes. Additionally, Google currently does not favor content written by AI, so it's best to avoid using ChatGPT for SEO purposes. However, it's still a powerful tool that can save time and help with content creation, as long as it's used responsibly and in conjunction with original thinking. Watch the video to learn more about ChatGPT and how to best utilize it in your content strategy.

Vlog: Google My Business Reviews

Google Reviews Importance

Reviews on Google come up with useful information and help your business stand out. We look at the importance of reviews from two different perspectives. First, we read their reviews because we want to know the user experience. Second, we realize how important it is to have reviews for our search engine optimization, so we wanted to see how we rank on Google My Business.

As we search for Optometrists in Squamish, you will be able to see three companies showing up and that is what we call the Google 3-Pack. And you're probably wondering, why does optimized show up above Garibaldi Eye Care. There are lots of different reasons for it, including how well everything's optimized.

Garibaldi Eye Care is one of our clients. The only reason that they're showing up as number two is that they only have 30 reviews and the other one is 280 reviews. This is a brand new clinic. They only opened up six months ago and getting more reviews is just going to take time. So I don't expect them to show up in number one for a while. But they still have 35-star reviews. This is especially important because it impacts the user experience. In other words, even though they're showing up in number two, they might still attract clicks to the website to read reviews.

So when it comes to reviews, numbers are important, and Google has said that even a negative review still helps your rankings.

Listen to the episode to know more about Google reviews, how do they work, how do you get them, and what's impact they have on your rankings. Let us know your thoughts in the comments below! Don't forget to tune in next week and have a great day!

Ep. 15: Posting on your Google My Business Profile: The Who, What, Where, When, and Why behind it

Ep. 15: Posting on your Google My Business Profile: The Who, What, Where, When, and Why behind it

When it comes to posting, you have to think of Google My Business as a social profile. It kind of goes back to the days of Google Plus, and now, Google has decided that consistent posting is part of their algorithm.

There are some opinions on the frequency of when and where you should post and what you should post. BrightLocal, a tool we use to keep an eye on clients' rankings, citations, and Google My Business, has a wonderful post guideline that they've published in September of 2021. This outlines profile posts, what they are and how long they're active, etc. You can read more about it here: https://www.brightlocal.com/learn/google-my-business-posts-guide/

Originally, posts used to expire seven days after posting, but this was removed in January of 2021. And now, when you post, it will just stay up there. When you post, one of the things that Google likes to see is that your page is updated. There is some controversy like what I've said earlier, and what we do is share what we use on Facebook to Google My Business.

Many people will say you're not supposed to do that, but in my data, I have never found a negative impact on rankings by doing this. That said, I don't have the data for the thousands of locations that BrightLocal can pull anonymously. What I would do is follow what they say even though there's a little bit more flexibility, in my opinion.

Listen to the episode to know more, and let us know your thoughts in the comments below! Don't forget to tune in next week as we're going to talk about reviews and how important these are to your business. See you next week and have a great day!

Ep. 4: Do You Really Need Marketing When You’re a Small Business?

Ep. 4: Do You Really Need Marketing When You’re a Small Business?

Small business owners of all ages often find themselves asking why marketing is important for their success. Years ago, when the businesses in the town were the only providers for specific goods and services, marketing for small businesses was not a necessity. Everyone knew who they could turn to for services and products that fit their needs. Now that the world is so interconnected and can quickly have products delivered from around the world or services rendered 24/7, competition has significantly increased. It is vital for small business owners to understand the importance of marketing in business success. Otherwise, they will fall behind the competition, lose out on sales, and may need to close their doors before they even have a chance to make a footprint in the world.
