For local businesses navigating visibility

Many of the themes discussed in this conversation — trust, reputation, and being visible at the right moment — also show up in how local businesses experience Google.

If you rely on Google for calls or inquiries and aren’t sure what’s helping or hurting your visibility right now, I run a paid Local Visibility Diagnostic that shows exactly where things are leaking and what to fix first.

It’s $295 and delivered asynchronously (Loom + written summary).
