Changing YOUR biz information on YOUR Google Business Profile can get you suspended 🤦🏻‍♂️

If you need to edit any of these, you might NOT want to edit via Google's dashboard:
🔹 Biz name
🔹 Address
🔹 Map pin
🔹 Phone
🔹 Categories
🔹 URL

Instead, get a friend to make the update via “Suggest an edit”.

There are excellent review posts on YouTube so that makes sense. But TikTok? Hmmm.
Younger consumers trust search results on TikTok and YouTube over recommendations from friends and family for product research.

You know what is missing? SEARCH. If you want writers to quote and link to your site, add a search box!

Yes, SOME know how to do a site search using a search engine or ask an AI, but the results aren't the same as using the search on YOUR site.

Why wouldn't you want your site to be searchable?
Does your business website have all of these design features on the home page?

This is a good thing for content creators, especially those who are subject matter experts and write as a human (not just spitting out AI-generated content).

I use Perplexity. It is usually accurate, although yesterday it gave an answer it couldn't attribute to anywhere.

When it is wrong, follow-up questions can get to the right answer if current data exists online.
The WSJ ranked Perplexity as the top #AI chatbot with the best summarization, current events, and coding capabilities.

According to blind tests, ChatGPT was fastest and did the best with health and cooking responses.

Gemini offered the best financial info.

Do you agree with these rankings?
