You know how I'm always talking about how important reviews are? Well I have some good news for you! Reviews are still more important than ever. But more and more businesses every day ignore that fact. Which means it's easy for you to swoop in and gather up more reviews than your competitors to build the trust you deserve. And to make that easy for you, I put together a new challenge to help you get more reviews fast. In fact I guarantee you'll get at least 3 new reviews in 7 days. (But...

This local plumber stole 25 customers with $200... using a high-pressure trick. Most small business owners think marketing means burning cash on Facebook ads or hiring expensive agencies. But Mike, a plumber in my neighborhood, took a completely different approach. Instead of creating ads... he started REMOVING dirt. He bought a small pressure washer ($150) and made stencils of his logo and phone number ($50 in materials). Then he found 10 filthy sidewalks in high-traffic areas around town...

Something I keep noticing lately: People are trying to be too creative which ruins their clarity. I notice it everywhere. Example: My daughter's school has a thing tonight. Apparently the kids are performing something. They sent a single random text message with a flyer attached. It has a time and location. But that's about it. Doesn't say what time to bring your kid. What they need to wear. Where they're supposed to go. Oh and the link in the text expired and doesn't do anything anymore. I...

You know what's frustrating? When you're good at what you do, but your online presence makes you look like everyone else. Or worse: like nobody at all.

But here's what actually moves the needle: list EVERY service you offer. Spell out what makes you different. Add booking if you can. These tiny tweaks get you in front of way more people who actually need you. And...

Nobody wants to hire a ghost. When your business profile looks dead on Google—no updates, no photos, nothing—people assume you're out of business or you don't care. But when they see fresh pics of your work. And see you're active and local… Game over. You win. It's not rocket science. Just show people you're legit. Post a job you crushed. Share what you're working on. Let them see you're the real deal. If you want some help on what to post, let me know. -Taylor Unsubscribe | Update your...

Look, I'm gonna be straight with you. If people can't find you online, you basically don't exist. That's not mean. it's just reality. And I know you're tired of watching everyone else get customers while your phone collects dust. Here's the good news: fixing this isn't complicated. Step one is simple: Get your Google Business Profile set up. Like, actually filled out. For real. Not just slapping your name on it and calling it a day.

This CEO fixed potholes in his town (and tripled business overnight) Domino's Pizza had a problem. Their pizzas were arriving at customers' homes looking like someone had played football with them. Toppings sliding everywhere. Cheese stuck to the box. Crusts cracked and mangled. But here's the thing... It wasn't their delivery drivers' fault. It was POTHOLES. Those crater-sized holes in the road were turning perfectly good pizzas into disaster zones before they even reached the customer's...

Did you know a woman holding water bottles generated $12 MILLION in brand exposure in a single night? At the 2019 Golden Globes, Fiji Water did something brilliantly simple that changed the marketing game. Instead of paying for expensive ad placements, they positioned a model (who became known as "Fiji Girl") on the red carpet holding trays of Fiji Water bottles. But here's the genius part... They strategically placed her to photobomb EVERY celebrity photo. As stars posed, there she was in...
