(My Search Engine Journal Feature) How Google Reviews Affect AI Search Before I head out for a quick family vacation this weekend (my wife officially finished another term of nursing school 🎉), I wanted to jump on here because we’ve got something BIG happening next week. On Thursday, June 4th, I’m hosting a special live training: How Google Reviews Affect AI Search And honestly…This may be one of the most important shifts local businesses and agencies need to understand right now. We already had over 1,000 people register for the original Search Engine Journal version of this training, and because of how impactful it was, they’re now actively sending their audience to this expanded live session as well. Here’s the reality: AI search is changing how customers discover and choose businesses. Platforms like: - ChatGPT - Google AI Overviews - Gemini - AI-powered search experiences …are no longer just showing links. They’re actively influencing which businesses get recommended FIRST. And one of the biggest signals these systems rely on? Google Reviews. But not just star ratings anymore. We’re talking about: - the language inside reviews - owner responses - consistency of review activity - Google Business Profile engagement - trust signals over time This is becoming AI trust infrastructure. On this live call I’m going to break down: ✅ Why some businesses are being recommended while competitors are ignored ✅ How reviews help AI systems understand what a business actually does ✅ Why keyword research has changed in the AI era ✅ How agencies can build “always-on” trust signal systems for clients ✅ How to operationalize this across multiple businesses without creating a giant manual mess ✅ Why reviews are becoming MUCH more than social proof And here’s the cool part… When you register for the webinar, I’m also giving you access to my AI Recommendation Playbook that we originally shared with hundreds of attendees from the Search Engine Journal event.

First...YES! We are REALLY Doing this and had 6 bookings since this recording. And we are RAMPING this up over the holiday weekend! Now to the real issue at hand.... Most agencies don’t fail because they suck at fulfillment. They fail because they never build a consistent outbound system. OR Most of the "fake" Agency trainers in our space make stuff up to sell you something new every week with their 10K a month system. And to be honest it's pathetic and sickening to see. That’s why I just recorded something different. This is Fully transparent, 100% Real, and Over the Shoulder. Not theory. Not “AI bro” fluff. Not fake results or family and friend "clients". And something we added into my Agency and Reviewly. Here's the deal, I brought in an actual real world professional BDR @Evan Cosner who has spent the last 6 YEARS booking demos every single day for companies. Not 6 days, 6 weeks, or even 6 months. 6 Years....That's the same thing for over 2,000 Days. And in that time he's booked over a thousand meetings. 1,000! So in this training we’re breaking down the exact system he uses to: - book demos - start conversations - follow up correctly - use LinkedIn - use Facebook DMs - use cold email - and build a pipeline WITHOUT needing a giant funnel or ad budget. What hit me hard during this recording was this: Most people quit WAY too early. Meanwhile…some of Evan’s biggest booked deals came from the 5th…6th…even 7th follow-up. Not because he’s pushy. Because most business owners are just busy. This course is going to show you: - The simple 3x3 outbound system - How to find the RIGHT local businesses - What to say - How to follow up - How to get replies without sounding salesy - How to do this in your spare time - And how to book your first client WITHOUT cold calling all day And honestly? This is probably one of the easiest “first client” systems we’ve released because you can literally start with:

Alright… REPLAY IS LIVE HERE - https://promolyai.lovable.app Something kind of crazy happened. I was building something simple for a couple local businesses… …and accidentally closed 2 local clients with it almost immediately. Not from some giant complicated funnel. Not from cold ads. Not from months of setup. Just a ridiculously simple AI-powered agency offer that completely blew their minds when they saw it. So tomorrow… I’m breaking down EXACTLY what I showed them. And to make this fun… I’m doing a $500 prize pool. 5 people are getting $100 each. Here’s how to qualify: 1. Comment “$100” below this post 2. Register for tomorrow’s live call: LINK - https://promolyai.lovable.app That’s it. Then show up live tomorrow at: 2PM Eastern / 11AM Pacific and during the training… I’ll reveal the specific thing the first 5 people can do to win the $100. PayPal. Amazon gift card. Whatever’s easiest. And yes…people from previous giveaways already know I actually pay out fast. What’s exciting about this: • It’s AI-powered • It’s one of the easiest “foot in the door” offers I’ve seen in years • It ties directly into Reviewly fulfillment • It can be used with Review Rush • It’s simple enough to deploy FAST • And honestly… I think a lot of people are overcomplicating agency sales right now This came out of nowhere for us internally… …but when something starts closing quickly in the real world… you lean into it. Tomorrow I’ll show you exactly what happened. Comment “$100” below and register now before you forget. See you live. – Herschy

What I’m about to release inside Leadsly is not a small update. Plus I am releasing my internal cold outreach snapshot to Leadsly members on Monday! 👇 COMMENT “SNAPSHOT” BELOW THIS VIDEO 👇 (Yes… literally type SNAPSHOT in the comments so I know you want access.) This is the next level of how you find and CLOSE leads in 2026. If you’ve been watching the Leadsly launch… If you missed the bonus window… If you emailed me asking for a smaller plan… This is for you. 🔁 Replay Page with 3 NEW Monthly Plans: 👉 JeffHerschy.com/Leadsly Now back to the Big Update!!!! It’s not a tweak. It’s not a feature patch. It's not some flavor of the week. Here’s What’s Coming 🔎 1. Signal Search (Deep AI Lead Targeting) Next week we release Signal Search. This is a deeper AI-powered search based on: • Business niche • Location (state-wide + broader searches coming) • Signal strength (movement & momentum) • Smarter filtering around those signals This is not just “scrape a list.” This is identifying businesses with movement. Static leads are everywhere. Momentum leads? That’s where money is made. ⸻ 📬 2. My EXACT 6-Email Cold Outreach Snapshot I literally just paid for 75,000–100,000 cold emails to go out next month. And I’m giving you: • The exact 6-email sequence • The exact subject line strategy • The exact framework we’re running • The HighLevel snapshot • The Google Doc version (if you don’t use HL) Plus… 🔁 14-Day Long-Term Nurture Sequence When someone doesn’t book immediately? They go into my long-term nurture system. You’re getting that too. This is plug-and-play. No guessing. No “what do I say?” No overthinking. ⸻ Monday Live (Over-the-Shoulder) 🗓 Monday 🕑 2PM ET / 11AM PT We INSTALL IT LIVE Here: https://www.youtube.com/live/zsY6Ubs8c6E?si=417Ho9sdEg_AhAsP I’m walking through this live, step by step. You will build it with me. If you’re in Leadsly (annual, quarterly, previous buyers, BAD funnels), you’re covered.

Hi @Jeff Schwerdt I’m tightening up my pricing and I want to confirm the typical Twilio usage costs per single-location account inside Reviewly. Here’s the working estimate I’m using: - Per SMS (all-in, incl. carrier fees): ~$0.012 per message (average) - Monthly SMS volume assumption: ~1,200 messages→ 1,200 × $0.012 ≈ $14.40/month - Phone number (monthly): ~$1.15/month Estimated Twilio total per location: ≈ $15.55/month Can you confirm if this is directionally correct for Reviewly accounts, and whether there are any other Twilio-related charges I should account for (e.g., A2P/10DLC fees, brand/campaign registration, MMS, higher carrier fees, etc.)? If you have a typical range you see per location (low/avg/high) that would be even better. Thanks,
