Just spotted a quirk in Google’s AI Overview: it lifted one of our Facebook posts (where we re‑posted a client review) and treated it as an actual review for “LocalSink reviews.” 🤯

We’re testing whether this boosts visibility for home‑service clients.

Seen anything similar?

I pay $200/mo for this.

Did Google just re-add the Chat feature on GBPs?

When I saw "orange dreamsicle" as a flavor, I thought it would make me vomit.

Can someone explain how Reign makes this actually taste good?

Also, these things have 300mg of caffeine... I feel like that should be a crime.

To the stronger or faster man,
But soon or late the man who wins
Is the man WHO THINKS HE CAN!"

Google Tag Assistant is no longer deprecated!

This is the easiest Chrome extension to use to make sure websites are tagged properly.

Make sure your website is tagged, people!

Have you done a Google search recently?

Yea... it's only going to get worse...

AI-generated results aren't going anywhere. Google wants your customers to stay on the search results page- NOT click on your website.

Well, after being lazy with posting on my socials, my knowledge panel was ripped from underneath me...

How many days do you think it's going to take me to get it back? My guess is under 3 👇
