Why should you care about your Google Business Profile?

Because 97% of people learn more about a local business online than anywhere else. If your GBP is missing, messy, or meh... you're losing customers to the business next door. (You know the one—you're better than them.)

HOW IT WORKS:

This podcast shows you exactly how to:

  • Show up when people search "near me"
  • Turn curious clicks into booked appointments
  • Get reviews, rank higher, and grow without ads
  • Look so good online people can't help but choose you

Local SEO just got a glow-up. No boring lectures. No robotic SEO jargon. Just two charismatic hosts talking shop over coffee—with metaphors, marketing magic, and moments that make you laugh-snort.
