🔥 Google’s 2026 Popularity Pivot: The 3 Changes Making Your 'SEO Authority' Irrelevant

Google just fundamentally changed the local ranking formula. They used to care about who was "Prominent" (the established big names). In 2026, the algorithm has shifted to Popularity.

If users aren't clicking, zooming, or actively interacting with your profile, Google’s AI assumes you’re irrelevant—or worse, closed. Join Ryan tomorrow, January 28, at 2:00 PM EST to learn how to dominate the new Map Pack.

📝 What We’re Covering:

The "Ask Maps" Button Takeover: Traditional Q&A is dead. It’s been replaced by an AI-powered "Ask" button driven by Gemini. We’ll show you how to structure your website and profile data so the AI gives your customers the right answers—instead of a "hallucination."
The Real-Time "Openness" Boost: In 2026, being "Open Now" is a massive ranking signal. We’ll reveal how to use this real-time signal to jump over competitors who have 1,000+ more reviews but are currently "Closed" or unresponsive.
Visual Proof & AI Vision: Google’s Vision AI is now "reading" your photos to verify your services. If you don't have visual proof of the work you claim to do, you're losing rank. We'll discuss why 100+ authentic images are the new baseline for 2026.

🚀 Stop Playing by 2024 Rules

The "Local Reset" is here. If you want to stay at the top of the Map Pack and keep your LSA leads flowing, you need to understand how Google’s AI is actually grading your business.
