It's been a while... do our Support Articles or Support Blogs link back to the location pages at all?

Hey @Mike Clay , Question for tomorrows Office Hours. Ever hear of a situation where a well established GBP looses all it's reviews?

Quick update on our Category Of One Mastermind. We’ve had a lot of interest… and a number of you have reached out to us asking the same thing: “Is there a way to make the payments a little easier to start?” So Mike and I put our heads together and thought… ...what if we just structured this in a way where you can get in, implement, and actually fund it from a deal? That’s the whole idea. And just so we’re clear… This is the exact system that allowed Mike and I to close a $10K deal, a $12.5K deal, and a $49K deal in the past 2 months. That’s $71K in business… ...from the exact same system we’re going to help you build and install in your agency over the next 6 weeks. Our goal is simple: You close a deal before your third payment is even due. One client… And you’re covered. If that was the thing holding you back, you can check everything out here: → Check Out Our Extended Payment Options Here Best, Brian and Mike Maps Liftoff | Local Visibility Systems P.S. We have a hard limit of 10 spots, since this is not a course and we’re building this with you. With @Mike Clay

I need to tell you about something that's quietly killing agencies right now. It's not AI. It's not competition. It's not even pricing. Here's what's happening... Most local agencies are still selling like it's 2015. "We do SEO." "We'll rank you in maps." "We'll get you to the top of Google." And it works. Kind of. They close deals at $500 to $1,500 a month. Clients get leads. Everyone's happy. Except the sales calls keep getting harder. More objections. More "let me think about it." More price shopping. Here's the thing most agency owners don't realize... They're not losing because they're bad at SEO. They're losing because they sound exactly like everyone else. When a business owner is evaluating you today, they're spending 7 hours consuming content across 11 different touch points, on 4 different platforms-over 62 DAYS before they even get on a call. They're checking Google. Reading reviews. Asking ChatGPT. Scrolling Reddit. Watching YouTube. And if all you have is a maps listing and a website that says "we do SEO"... ...you look exactly the same as the other three agencies they're talking to. So they default to price. Remember when taxis owned every city in America? In 2009, there were over 200,000 taxi drivers in the US. They had the licenses. The infrastructure. Decades of dominance. Then Uber launched in 2010. By 2015, taxi medallions in New York that were worth $1.3 MILLION dropped to $250,000. By 2020, most cities barely had taxis anymore. It happened in less than a decade. And it happened right under everyone's noses. Taxi drivers kept saying "people will always need cabs." They kept doing what they'd always done. Meanwhile Uber positioned themselves differently. They weren't just "a ride." They were convenience, transparency, and trust. The taxis didn't get worse. The game just changed and they didn't adapt. Right now, agencies are doing the same thing. They're operating in the "search economy" when we've moved to the "recommendation economy."
