Huge thanks to @timcapper.bsky.social @crystalontheweb.bsky.social @clarissafilius.bsky.social @bendfisher.bsky.social

In 2025, user-generated content is expected to continue growing. We are already seeing more images, reviews, and videos created by users being featured in Google Business Profiles, and this trend
is likely to expand.

I think we will have to work hard in 2025 to be local.
This will separate you from the businesses jumping on LLMs and churning out sub-standard stuff. People want to see the businesses as local and support local.

Local search is a perfect fit for wearables. The transition from the phone to wearables is just beginning and I think we will see our first example of how augmented reality and wearables can benefit local SEO.

There seems to be a local ranking disturbance, loss of ranking starting yesterday, if you are also seeing this comment with your category please. This is not an alarm bell post, more a fact finding mission.

Google glitch. This is 1 of 2 I was informed of this morning. This is the appeal status for a local business. Check out the {dynamic field} where the business name should be. This business is currently suspended and can't be reinstated. If you see this same thing, let me know!

Interesting that the reinstatement tool is showing the variable for a business name. Discovered by kevin Paul’s
