When a local business asks why they are not showing in the map results, I look at the profile before the site. Four checks, in this order: 1. Primary category. Is it the most specific one available? It is the field that does the most work, and it is often still set to whatever the owner picked on day one. 2. Services. Each service listed as its own entry, not one paragraph in the description. 3. Business name. It has to match the sign above the door. Keywords added to the name are against Google's guidelines and put the listing at risk. 4. Name, address and phone. The same on the profile, the website and the main directories. Only then do I open the website. What is first on your list?

Hi everyone, I’m building a review management/review generation service for local businesses and I’d love to get some advice from people already doing this. I’m not using GoHighLevel. At the moment, my system works like this: the staff manually enters the customer’s name, WhatsApp number and appointment time, and then the system automatically sends the review request after the appointment. I’m trying to figure out the best direction from here: - Which niches would you recommend starting with? - Should I try to connect the system directly to the CRM/booking software they already use, so staff don’t have to enter the customer manually? - If you were starting from scratch today, which niche and workflow would you focus on first? I’d really appreciate any advice from people who have already tested this model.

Wow! Seeing a member here post of hitting 10K a month is super encouraging! I’ve been following several influencers for months now and have finally realized I need to stop watching new videos and start actually implementing the work! I’ve learned plenty to start and can and will refer to all my notes and alot of the videos! And of course continue to stay tuned in groups! I’m posting today asking of and offering to anyone just getting started to sorta huddle up a couple or more times a week or just scratch heads together at times and figure some things out together while actually doing the work! Some real in the trenches support to one another without feeling the quilt or shyness whatever of asking for anything by posting like this! This such support I’m referring that I’m looking for is what is holding me back mostly and I don’t want others to be wasting time and opportunity for themselves and their families like I have been for many weeks now! Let’s connect and let’s too reach 10K a month in RECURRING REVENUE!!! Shad 318-589-0479 Well wishes to all! God Bless!
