Local SEO has changed my life:

Motivation + Niches 👉 Keep in mind I don’t keep my sites in Ringba/Leadsmart I always take them away and sell leads to clients directly.

My main niche is roofing and I mosly charge $175/lead from clients. So that amount is not counted in this.

I do have few roofers in contract to pay on percentage basis too.

There would be people who would say we are best and we start Local SEO but the thing is they just started posting on social media before us.

I wish I could give some time to community so as others could take benefit out of it

I noticed that Facebook and LinkedIn Business Pages appear in the SERP for Major Money Keywords.

Google has started listing social media business pages directly in the SERP.

So now it is officially Search Everywhere Optimization. Optimizing all social media platforms will naturally bring you in top in Google SERP too.

Pro Tip: Get Reviews to Social Media Pages to Rank in Google SERP and ChatGPT.

No More SEO, now it’s Search EVERYWHERE Optimization.

Organic Map Rankings are up but leads from GMB have been dropping for the past 3-4 months.

Here’s what’s happening:

👉 AI Overviews take up more space at the top
👉 Local Services Ads look almost the same as organic results and pull clicks away
👉 Map Ads used to be just 1 now either 1-2 or 3 ads and if you click on more listing, then you usually se 2-3 Ads, Local pack is pushed down on the page
👉 People now search on YouTube, ChatGPT, TikTok, Instagram and other social meida apps

If your agency only does websites and GBP work, that’s risky, You need to do Ads too.

To keep clients, you need to help them get leads from every possible place, such as:

👉 Rank on ChatGPT (Citations, Mentions, PRs, Listicals)
👉 Short videos on Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, and YouTube (Answering Industry-Related Questions)
👉 Social media marketing (Meta Ads)
👉 Reddit and Quora visibility for Validation
👉 SEO to Appear in Ai Overview and Ai Mode
👉 Press Releases and Digital PR (this will rank you in Grok, Gemini, ChatGPT, and Perplexity)
👉 And yes, PPC — especially Local Services Ads and Map Pack Ads
👉 Ads on Yelp, Angi, Yellow Pages

In a nutshell, Smart Audience will use ChatGPT and Dummies will Click on Ads. Game is changed.

Best of Luck for your journey.
