A GBP for a local business is one of top assets a business can set up and build out. JUST NEVER FORGET: you don‘t actually own your GBP, content, reviews, etc... GOOGLE does.

The higher the urgency, and the stronger the push of new acronyms, the more likely they're just making spam and scamming.

Very interesting

Everyone in business and marketing should read this. Best article I’ve read on the SEO/AI topic. Gives the clearest understanding of some of the💩 people are trying to sell with GEO. Even if Google isn’t what you do, on the daily. READ IT

More of this pls

My #cat 👀 at me (with my📱📷 ) Like I 👀 at some of the #Google search results recently.

Google Ads scan QR codes or send to email call actions/assets are tracked by Google says @adsliaison.bsky.social www.seroundtable.com/google-ads-c... via @Dcdigitalpro #googleads #ppc #google

Google's new paid AI local calling agentic feature is a lot like the Google Ask For Me labs feature, which can be hit or miss www.seroundtable.com/google-ask-f...

Reviews on Local Service ad profile ran on @GoogleAds will finally be managed by the GBP / @GoogleSmallBiz profile. Starting… today😱 #ppcchat

Get ready for a few hard right turns. www.wired.com/story/elon-m...

#google’s AIOs are killing search ad performance. @adexchanger.com calls it speculation. I call it experience from known google tactics after nearly 20 years of of dealing with them. www.adexchanger.com/daily-news-r...

“Who me?”

It’s New 6/19: Google Search Live Audio, Veo 3 YouTube Shorts, URL structure SEO and more www.youtube.com/watch?v=PEEP... we had @themarketinganu.bsky.social and @mordyoberstein.bsky.social but @gregfinn.bsky.social ditched us

20M videos are uploaded each day. Google confirmed it's using YouTube to train its AI models -> Google is using its expansive library of YouTube videos to train Gemini and Veo 3; Google says it only uses a subset of videos for the training #google #seo #ai #youtube

Google is testing a video speaker icon with a language label for the video search result snippets www.seroundtable.com/google-video... #google #googleuserinterface #googlevideo #video

In the latest post on The Fiery Well I talk about leaving Google Workspace: "But for me, it was time to make the move. Convenience is coming at a price I can't justify anymore: security. Peace of mind. The fact that I fucking *hate* generative AI..." www.thefierywell.com/leave-google...

O no. My DL is going to be suspended. O wait. I haven’t had a jersey license in 10+ years 🤦‍♂️🤣

Couldn’t you setup a Google ads payment profile with PayPal for a while as well?. Worth checking if you ever did

Definitely Google. As a workspace admin, I can remove disable the Gemini app, but still have to login to turn off personalization for each user to truly turn it off in the products we pay for. Search we all just stuck and f*cked.

What is this top section on maps

Idc what anyone says. #gemini is broken compared to #chatgpt. At least for deep research. Sure I can leave the tab, come back and all I can access is the links and thoughts. No output of the table I asked to confirm and/find any mistakes in. What I get back is basically a new instance. 🗑️🚮

Do you think they mean, “hit up Bethune”

Repeat after me: Gmail will NOT call or text me. Coinbase will NOT call or text me. Local and state governments will NOT text me. USPS/UPS/DHL/FedEx. Will not text me unless I have setup sms notifications. And even then they will not message me about owing money. www.forbes.com/sites/zakdof...

Well this is unspeakably horrible. No way to turn it off without shutting off all advanced features, as far as I can tell arstechnica.com/google/2025/...

@nearmedia.bsky.social, Great podcast on the future of local search with google Gemini, but also open ai ChatGPT, and bing. If you are in the local search space, you should watch this youtu.be/RYeFlg4X_Gc

We see a lot of spammers misuse the Indexing API like this, so I'd recommend just sticking to the documented & supported use-cases. Will your site get penalized? I'd just use it properly, or not use it. If we wanted to suggest that people could use it regardless, we'd document it as such.

AI has many use cases. This google ad on YouTube is an example of someone using AI and not checking their work. The state of Georgia or the country of Georgia….

This is insane. Republicans have inserted language into the budget reconciliation bill that would ban states from regulating AI in any capacity for 10 years. from @404media.co www.404media.co/republicans-...

This graph shows the real reason why Google won’t let stop the Gemini pop-ups, in every Google workspace account and other product. O sundar must be soo pissd.
