humor me... if you searched this... it would be to look for places nearby, no? similar to just searching "coffee"... there is no local pack result for this query. insane. Google does not understand its customers anymore.

welp, why does everything have to try to be a search engine? new reddit home screen showing a search bar and pushing down my feed :/

any other agencies getting this new type of spam where someone reaches out (and duplicates their name in the first/last name fields) and then they use some weird email address with a domain that redirects to the website they're asking for services for? not sure if I explained that right but...

Posted on the HubSpot community a while back to see if they would want to parse out leads from AI... and they’re doing it 😇

Anyone else seeing their keywords just all over the place this week? Can't tell if our rank tracker is being wonky or something bigger is going on...

1000%

who do I have to pay to have Google stop adding these without asking

anyone else trying out LLMrefs yet? just saw it suggested on a LinkedIn thread after a guy was quoted 7k (lol) to upgrade to Ahrefs AI tracking

Have never seen Facebook pulled in as a forum result. Interesting.

anyone seeing this core update hit local at all? seeing some interesting businesses rank in the local pack with bad reviews but the business names have the keywords in them........they were not ranking a few days ago

mercury retrograde starts this friday so all you SEOs be ready to see various sites crash from servers going down and client communication go haywire

if anyone wishes to know... when LeBron announced his Cleveland return in 2014, it was Friday, July 11th (my birthday), and this is the first time since that it falls again on a Friday... just saying

are any other agencies getting this new type of spam lead where they take a real website, make a new domain and add "marketing" or "ppc" to the end of it, and then ask for Google Ads help? And the website is dead/parked domain page? They always come from like random directory sites, too.

Nothing quite like the news of a new core update on a MONDAY

If any HubSpot CRM users out there would like to see AI search become an option for original source, please upvote :)

I remember seeing someone mention this a few weeks ago, but I think they recently changed their policies to allow indexing of public business account posts: help.instagram.com/147542625391...

first time seeing an Instagram post as a source 👀

Google testing a larger business profile setup for exact match business searches? I am probably late to this

Anyone here still working on the GBP help community? Would really appreciate some help with a stinky appeal: support.google.com/business/thr...

Here to source dirt, hot takes, and news on AIOs as I have seen it on (redacted other social media platform we don't say) if anyone has read/shared anything interesting lately

review scammers are using... Tinder??... to aggregate paid reviews? hmmm www.reddit.com/r/Cleveland/...

always good to have a reliable network when you've got crappy content to share.

hello everyone logging on here because twitter is down

It is the year 2025. I should not be landing on your conference website and seeing a line up of only men.

hm

Does anyone know which local keyword trackers are working right now? We use both SE Ranking and Local Falcon and typically like being able to do a mass local pack check on SE Ranking but their tool is still down

sadly from what I am seeing most of them think all gov't orgs are corrupt and fake. they are also covid and climate change deniers so. sigh.
