You’ll hear marketers throw around the term “review velocity.”
Here’s what it actually means....and why it matters.

Google doesn’t want:
• 10 reviews in one day
• Reviews from out of state
• Reviews from brand-new Gmail accounts

That’s a fast way to raise red flags.

What Google does want is consistency and detail.

Think 2–5 reviews per week, spread out over real customers you actually helped.

Even better when reviews include:
• What service was done
• Where it was done (specific cities, not just “Alabama”)
• Real details about the job

One simple shift that helps a lot:
Don’t ask, “Can you leave a 5-star review?”

Ask instead:
“Would you mind sharing detailed feedback about your experience on Google?”

Ask right after the job is finished — when the customer is happiest.

Detailed, consistent reviews = higher trust.
Higher trust = lower suspension risk.
Lower risk = more visibility, more calls, more revenue.

Entrepreneurship is lonely if you let it be.

Episode 1 of What’s Really Brewing is live on YouTube with Jake Zufelt, and we kept it honest: the wins, the lows, and the mindset it takes to keep going.

If your Google Business Profile just got reinstated, this is the part that gets people suspended again 👇

After reinstatement, Google watches your profile closely.
One wrong move can trigger another automatic suspension.

The biggest mistake we see?

Making changes too fast.

For at least 30 days, keep your core info completely stable:
• Business name
• Address or service area
• Primary category
• Phone number
• Website URL

Even if something looks wrong — don’t touch it yet.
Changing it too soon almost always makes things worse.

These are Google’s biggest spam signals, and any one of them can flag your profile again.

Be patient.
Wait it out.
Protect the listing.

If your profile is suspended, restricted, or you’re scared to touch it, the full breakdown is in the YouTube video.

If your Google Business Profile gets suspended, it can shut your phone off overnight.

And most of the time?
It’s not because you did something shady.
It’s because Google keeps tightening the rules — and small mistakes trigger suspensions fast.

I just published a new YouTube video breaking down:
→ The most common suspension triggers we’re seeing in 2026

→ How to set your profile up correctly (office, shop, or home-based)

→ The exact step-by-step reinstatement process

→ How to avoid getting suspended again

👉 Video is linked in the comments if you want to DIY it or protect your profile long-term.

That said — if your profile is already suspended and you don’t want to risk doing it wrong…

We’re now offering Google Business Profile Reinstatement Support for $350.

Over the last 2 weeks alone, we’ve helped 10 businesses get their profiles reinstated and back live.

No guessing.
No panic edits.
No back-and-forth with Google without a plan.

If you want help getting it fixed for you, send us a message.
If you want to learn how to do it yourself (or avoid this entirely), watch the video.

Either way — don’t ignore it. Your GBP is too important.

Here’s the part most people miss 👇

When your brand and SEO are strong, your ads get cheaper.
Lower cost per click.
Higher quality scores.
More conversions at a lower cost.

And then that ad traffic feeds your SEO…
Which builds more trust…
Which makes your ads perform even better.

It’s a loop.

That’s why the contractors who win on Google in 2026 aren’t choosing ads or SEO.

They’re building both to work together.

Watch the video if you want growth that compounds instead of resets every month.

Pay-per-click ads are like flipping a switch.

Not because they’re “easy” — but because they give you instant visibility.

You show up at the top.
You start getting leads faster.
Especially for searches like “roof repair near me” or “fence company near me.”

But here’s the catch 👇
PPC is also the fastest way to burn cash if it’s not set up and optimized correctly.

Google is an AI machine.
If you’re not feeding it clean data — what converts, what doesn’t, which searches matter — it just keeps spending while it guesses.

Speed is powerful.
But speed without structure gets expensive fast.

12/17/2025

This is what a lot of businesses are learning the hard way right now 👇

If you don’t have a strong organic presence, your ads are going to tank — and they’re going to tank fast.

It doesn’t matter if you’re running AI videos, polished video ads, or the “latest” Meta strategy.

If people click your ad and don’t see real value, real content, and real proof… they don’t trust you.

And no trust = no conversions.

Organic presence is the trust layer.
SEO, content, reviews, and consistency are what people look at after they see your ad.

This is a trust economy.
People research before they buy.

Ads don’t create trust anymore.... they expose whether it’s already there.

12/17/2025

Most businesses wait to think about brand until things feel “stable.”

That’s backwards.

Brand isn’t logos or colors — it’s what you stand for, how you show up, and what people say about you when you’re not in the room.

That’s why reviews and referrals should never be optional.

They’re part of the brand you’re building every single day.

If you’re serious about long-term growth, this is where SEO really shines.

Strong brand signals + consistent reviews = trust.

And trust is what keeps you visible, clickable, and chosen.

Here’s a simple way to think about it:

Google Ads = speed.
SEO = leverage.

If you’re new to a market, seasonal, or staring at empty spots on the calendar, Google Ads are how you fill schedule gaps fast.

Real example:

A fence contractor reached out during what’s normally a dead period.

They were managing their own Google Ads, but nothing was working.....and leads had completely stopped.

We stepped in, rebuilt the account for how Google works now, and within two weeks they were booked halfway through the next month.

Jobs that normally wouldn’t exist in the slow season were suddenly back on the calendar.

That’s what Google Ads are for.

Speed. Momentum. Cash flow.

SEO builds long-term leverage.
Ads keep the lights on when timing matters.

If you’re servicing areas 20–30 miles away, this is a mindset shift most contractors miss:

A small office in that area isn’t overhead..... it’s a marketing investment.

An address + a Google Business Profile in the markets you want to serve helps you:

• Show up more in Maps
• Build local trust faster
• Get more calls without relying only on ads

If your sales process is dialed in and you’re closing real jobs, the math works.
One location can easily produce a handful of extra jobs — and that alone can pay for the office.

Local presence feeds local SEO.
Local SEO feeds the map.
The map feeds the phone.

“Slow season” doesn’t mean your phones have to stop ringing.

This is a tree service in Southern Alabama — a business that normally sees things slow way down this time of year.

Instead, here’s what the last 7 days of Google Ads looked like:

• Consistent traffic
• 14 conversions in one week
• 26%+ conversion rate
• Sub-$30 cost per lead
• Nearly 50% impression share in their market

All during a month that used to be quiet.

This is what happens when Google Ads are built the right way:
Targeting real search intent.
Strong tracking.
A website that converts.
And a strategy designed to keep demand steady — not seasonal.

Good Google Ads don’t just “work when it’s busy.”
They help smooth out the slow months so revenue stays predictable.

That’s the goal every time.

Something interesting is already happening and most local businesses haven’t noticed yet.

This month alone, we’ve had multiple people call our marketing company after finding us inside ChatGPT — locally — within about a 15-mile radius.

Not from ads.
Not from cold outreach.
From asking real questions.

They were searching for help with things like:
Google Business Profile
Local SEO
Ads
Marketing strategy

And we kept showing up.

Why?
Because we’ve spent years building a strong website, a real online presence, and content that actually answers the questions people are asking.

Now when people ask AI to solve problems, it’s pulling from the businesses that already put in that work.

What’s even more telling is what people say when they call:
“I found you on ChatGPT… you must be doing something right.”

That’s the shift.

Being visible in AI isn’t about hacks or tricks.
It’s about authority, clarity, and consistency.

If you want your business to show up in the places people are starting to search — this is your sign to take your online presence seriously.

Watch the video.
This is already happening.
