Fōkasu: photo, video and websites for Aussie small businesses and hospitality → real content, not stock → fast sites built for local search → AI that answers enquiries at 2am. Daily local SEO tips here. https://t.co/2eU5AhO5Rk #SmallBusiness What does your website not do yet?

@dannypostma The biggest landing page win I see for local businesses isn't the copy, it's swapping the stock hero image for a real photo of the team or the work. Visitors can spot stock in a second. #WebDesign #SmallBusiness

@madebykframe Leading with the pain instead of the product is the step most ads skip. Same goes for trades content: show the tradie heading home on time, not the software. Did you test real job-site footage against the motion graphics? #VideoMarketing

[Fōkasu Collective @fokasu_co]

@Ionkosm And for local businesses it's quietly their most important shopfront. Real photos of the place, current hours and replies to reviews do more than most owners expect. Worth checking yours on your phone this week. #LocalSEO #GoogleBusinessProfile

@ericosiu Number 5 is where I'd start a small business. Ask ChatGPT or Gemini for the best [service] near [suburb] and see who gets named. Fresh reviews, clear service pages and the same details everywhere seem to help. #AISearch #LocalSEO

[Fōkasu Collective @fokasu_co]

@semrush Easy check for small business sites: every service and suburb page should be linked from a page people actually visit, like the homepage or a services hub. If it only lives in the sitemap, it's much harder for Google and customers to find. #SEO #SmallBusiness

85% of people have been convinced to buy a product or service by watching a video.
89% of consumers say video quality impacts their trust in a brand.
16% skip businesses with no photos on the listing.

Photo and video for tradies and businesses, Australia-wide.

@MalteLandwehr Thanks Malte, handy to know. So for small shops the unglamorous work pays twice: a tidy Merchant Center feed with clear titles, real product photos and accurate prices helps in Google Shopping and in AI shopping answers. #Ecommerce #AISearch

[Fōkasu Collective @fokasu_co]

@Corporate_CJP Worth adding context: that 63% is from an Ahrefs study of 3,000 sites (early 2025), when AI was 0.17% of visits. Ahrefs' latest data has it near 0.43%, so small but growing. Clear service pages, real photos and an up-to-date Google profile help with both. #SEO #AISearch

[Fōkasu Collective @fokasu_co]

@jdcmedlock The fix for small businesses was never Photoshop skills anyway. Two fonts, three colours and real photos of your actual work beat any clever graphic. People want to see the real shopfront, the real team, the real plate of food. #SmallBusiness #ContentCreation

[Fōkasu Collective @fokasu_co]

@iamdjzeeno Listing it is step one. The profiles that actually get calls keep hours right (holidays too), add real photos of their work every month, and reply to every review. A half-done profile can look worse than none. #GoogleBusinessProfile #LocalSEO

[Fōkasu Collective @fokasu_co]

@aleyda Good prompt for small business owners: the spam update ran 24 Sep to 8 Oct, so in Search Console compare clicks since 24 Sep with the same stretch before it. If you've bought cheap links or mass AI-written pages, that's where a drop shows first. #SEO

[Fōkasu Collective @fokasu_co]

@calvino_antonio Thanks Antonio. Out of interest, when you build one, what goes above the fold first for you: the offer, the proof or the call button? #WebDesign

[Fōkasu Collective @fokasu_co]

@Real_Aremu Cheers! Curious what you see most with clients: no photos at all, or old stock ones nobody has updated in years? #SmallBusiness

[Fōkasu Collective @fokasu_co]

@neilpatel Worth pairing with your Google Business Profile performance stats. For a local business, AI impressions only matter if they turn into calls, bookings or direction requests, and those show up in GBP, not Search Console. #LocalSEO

[Fōkasu Collective @fokasu_co]

45% of US consumers now use AI tools like ChatGPT for local business recommendations, up from 6% a year earlier (BrightLocal 2026). They lean on what's online about you → fresh reviews → your replies → correct hours → a clear website. Your weak spot? #LocalSEO #SmallBusiness

[Fōkasu Collective @fokasu_co]

@theTiser This is why we tell every client the same thing: your socials are rented land. A proper website and Google Business Profile are the bits you actually own, so a lockout costs you a channel, not the whole business.

[Fōkasu Collective @fokasu_co]

@vynzo_ca Holiday hours are the sneaky one. Nothing kills trust faster than someone turning up to a locked door because Google said you were open. Same story here in Australia around public holidays.
