@PopBase Three Album of the Year wins with back-to-back albums is a ridiculous run. Rosalía’s in her own league.

If you sell it or do it, list it on your Google Business Profile.

Quick habit:
1. Add your main services or products, with a short plain description
2. Use the words customers actually type, not your internal jargon
3. Add a photo and a price where it makes sense

It helps people see you do the exact thing they searched for, before they ever click.

@TGGonYT Rockstar going quiet is either bad news or the loudest marketing plan ever.

Your Google profile photos are often the first look a customer gets at your place, before they read a single review.

Quick habit:
1. Add a clear shot of your shopfront so people recognise it when they arrive
2. Show the inside and your real products or work
3. Add fresh ones every month or so, not once and done

Real photos of the real place beat a perfect logo.

Every review on your Google profile is a public conversation, and the next customer reads your reply too.

Quick habit:
1. Reply to every review, good and bad
2. Thank them by name and mention what they bought
3. On a bad one, stay calm, own it, offer to fix it offline

Silence reads as "don't care".

Your primary category on Google does more heavy lifting than your description.

It's one of the main things Google uses to decide which searches you show up for.

2 minute check:
1. Open your Google Business Profile
2. Look at your primary category
3. Pick the most specific one that matches what you actually sell

Yours right?
