I only got through a quarter of this course. It seemed WAY over my head and totally overwhelming. It seems like if I don't know how to do all of these things, that I am just learning about to make sure my GBP is being seen, I am out of luck when it comes to my local service businesses. It sounds like AI is only choosing the businesses that have the absolute most dialed in listings across all platforms. @Jason Davis please ease my mind and guide me to the best next step.

I had a COMPLETE meltdown today! I was starting and stopping video trainings, going from one to the other and by the end of the day, I had sooo much anxiety I smoked a cigarette and it made me feel like shit!! We are purchasing our home we have been renting to own for the past 2.5 years and we are behind because my husband was in an accident and couldn't work. The sellers are threatening to put it on the market! I have my Passion Project which is my YouTube podcast, which I have not started yet, which will be pointed to my Skool Communities, also have not yet put any movement into, except getting soooo clear, which is exciting, on what I am doing, who I am interviewing, what science backed quantum tools I will be exploring, and sharing that will assist the body, mind and soul to heal, thrive and come back into balance on a cellular level. Then I have my cleaning business to build and grow in my local market. This will be the foundation that supports my family and I along with my husband/son's construction business. We are both just starting this process because he was down with an injury after almost a year and I was holding everything together . . . barely. Anyway, after that looooong and stressful day, I collapsed and frantically spoke to my Chat GPT in Lindy Mode - which means having chat choose what works over time, not what feels urgent right now. I got some very powerful steps to take: 1) Go for a walk in the morning 🚶‍♂️ with my 🐕 2) Focus on income producing activities for the cleaning biz 4 days per week 🪷. I only work 2 of those days in the business so I will be doing things to grow the business on the other 2 days 💸 3) Work on my Passion Project 1 day per week ❤️‍🔥 4) Work in our home or in the yard 🏡 🍃 on Saturday 5) Sunday Funday 🥰 That feels better. Thank God for AI to assist me in laying the steps to take to build the cleaning business and thank you @Jason Davis for this community so I can learn what to do to grow our local businesses.
What if our businesses roam?
@Jason Davis ALL three of our businesses do not have an office. Massage, Construction, Cleaning - we go to people's homes to do the work we are hired for. Our business mailing address is in the same location as the city we serve and it is our mom's address. What do we do? In Lesson 2, you say you still have to show your address? That would mean renting a space, which be very expensive and really not necessary to run the business. We live about an hour out from where we work and do our admin at home. What do you suggest?

@Jason Davis great news. We will use our mom’s address since she is in the city we have our businesses, then hide. I believe I did that w the massage biz. Have several reviews. Not many pics. Your audit couldn’t find it.

Hello, @Jason Davis and LSGH Community Members - My name is Joy and I have a cleaning company and my husband and son run a construction company on Bainbridge Island in Washington State. I would say that our biggest growth challenge is not knowing how to grow a business online. My husband had a painting company years ago and did ALL his marketing hanging door hangers on Wednesday and then knocking those doors with a bunch of kids on Saturday. My hubby built a very large company that way. We are here to learn how to grow our reach using Google Business and SEO. If we have to knock doors we will. Looking for guidance and support on this journey to do the online marketing. What is the biggest win you have had in learning from this community?

@Jason Davis we have not yet launched our websites and GBP. The construction company and cleaning company will definitely be separate. I did do an audit on my massage business and even though I have a website and a GBP, the audit says: "Business not found on Google. Try adding the city name." Looking forward to making everything hum without door to door in person.

@Yan Golo Awesome! I look forward to setting our two businesses up instead of knocking doors. What business are you in?
Google Maps is no longer just a directory. It's becoming a recommendation engine.
Google's Ask Maps feature is now interpreting what customers ask and recommending specific businesses based on their situation, not just showing a list. When someone searches "who should I call for a second opinion on my furnace?" Google doesn't just list HVAC companies. It picks the ones it understands well enough to explain why they're a good fit. The businesses getting recommended aren't necessarily the ones with the most reviews. They're the ones Google can clearly describe. Three things that determine whether Google recommends you: 1. Your GBP description clearly explains what you do and what types of jobs you handle 2. Your reviews mention real situations, not just "great service" 3. Your website has content that speaks to the specific jobs you want to win 4. If Google can't explain your business, it won't recommend it. Check how your profile looks right now with our free GBP Analyzer: 👉 https://makariosmarketing.com/google-business-profile-analyzer/?utm_source=skool&utm_medium=post&utm_campaign=ask_maps Is your GBP description specific enough? Drop it in the comments and let's take a look. 👇

Oh Nooooooo! I put my website in that I copied from the search bar once it came up https://sacredsoulbodywork.love/. It says that "Business not found on Google. Try adding the city name". I am looking at my GBP. Not sure what to do now @Jason Davis
