The Google Ruse

Hi,

Google is bamboozling you. And us. All of us.

Clients that are looking for YOU are being sent to your competitors.

And we can prove it beyond a shadow of a doubt.

You know how you can Google search: 'business near me'?

So 'restaurant near me'. Or 'hardware store near me'. Or 'plumber near me'.

Most people assume Google actually recommends the closest business.

But... it doesn't.

Not even close.

You could be standing NEXT to a business, Google 'near me' annnnnnddddd it's going to recommend a competitor!

We know. It's nuts.

But don't take our word for this. Try it out yourself. Open Google Maps right now, search for your own type of business, and see where you rank.

If you're not in the top 3, you're invisible to most of your potential customers.

The good news? This is fixable. Completely fixable.

In our next post, we'll show you exactly how to fix some of this — so you actually show up in Google when people are looking for you.

Stay tuned.

Talk soon,
