We had our senior leadership dinner tonight. 54% of this leadership team are women. 69% are underrepresented minorities. This did not happen by accident. It reflects intentional hiring, real opportunity creation, and a culture where capability speaks louder than titles. Onward. 💛

A Google Business Profile suspension can feel like your digital lights just went out. For many local businesses, it means fewer calls, fewer leads, and a sudden drop in client trust. What surprises most owners is how easily it can happen. A single address update, a shared login, or access given to a flagged agency account can trigger a suspension. Our latest post outlines the most common causes, what to do if you’re already suspended, and how to prevent it from happening again. If your business depends on being found locally, this is one to bookmark. 🔗 Full article in comments. #SmallBusiness #DigitalStrategy #ReputationManagement #LocalMarketing #GoogleBusinessProfile

The #1 question every small business owner asks: "How often should I post on social media?" After analyzing data across platforms and industries, here's what we discovered: The golden rule: Consistency trumps volume every time. Platform-specific recommendations: Facebook: 1-2 posts daily Instagram: 3-5 posts weekly + 2 stories daily LinkedIn: 1-2 posts daily (especially for professional services) Google Business Profile: Weekly minimum (often MORE important than traditional social) But here's what most guides miss: Timing matters as much as frequency. For example, posting on your Google Business Profile at 7 AM on Monday morning could catch homeowners who discovered weekend issues. A restaurant promoting Friday specials hits weekend planners perfectly. The real insight? There's no universal formula. Your industry, audience, and local market dynamics all play a role. What works for your business? Start with these benchmarks, then monitor your analytics to find YOUR unique sweet spot. We've just published a comprehensive guide covering every major platform, optimal posting times by industry, and when to avoid posting altogether.

Here's the brutal truth: Most local businesses are still invisible to 1.5 billion iPhone users—and now AI systems too. We've been helping small businesses dominate their local markets for over a decade, and we're shocked by how many still ignore Apple Maps. Last month, we audited 200 local businesses across multiple industries. The pattern was clear: the majority weren't optimized for Apple's ecosystem. The cost? These businesses are missing out on a massive audience that's actively searching for local services—plus they're invisible when Siri pulls local business data primarily from Apple Maps for voice searches and when AI search engines analyze business details from structured sources like Apple Maps to recommend local businesses. Here's what the smartest operators understand: They're not just "getting listed" - they're dominating local discovery across ALL platforms. The 4-step framework that's separating winners from losers: → Step 1: Strategic Claiming via Apple Business Connect Don't just register. Use Apple Business Connect to create a unified presence across ALL Apple services. This isn't just Maps - it's Siri, Spotlight, and future Apple commerce integrations. → Step 2: Profile Optimization at Scale Complete every field, but here's the secret: Use data-driven keywords in your business description. Apple's algorithm rewards semantic relevance just like Google's. → Step 3: Proactive Gap Analysis Missing from Maps? The "Report Something Missing" feature isn't just reactive - it's a competitive intelligence tool. Use it to audit competitor coverage too. → Step 4: Continuous Accuracy Management Set monthly audits. Use "Report an Issue" not just for corrections, but for strategic updates that align with seasonal business changes. The companies winning local search in 2025 understand this: Apple Maps isn't "nice to have" anymore. With nearly 60% of US smartphone users on iPhones, it's table stakes. While your competitors debate whether they need another platform, you'll own the local conversation. What's your Apple Maps strategy? P.S. - Want the complete playbook?
