I'm the founder of Mountwell Marketing, a full-service local marketing agency serving growing businesses in Greater Philadelphia.
After a brief reprieve, I’ve received 5 calls today from spammers claiming I need to verify my Google Business Profile, all from different local-looking numbers.

Google updated this faster than it takes many small business owners to claim and update their own Google Business Profile. 🙃

Like, sure, cool photos, but why in the world is this half my feed?!?

TikTok employees pitched a brand and PR campaign in 2023 to prevent a ban, but leadership didn’t approve it. (From @sapna.bsky.social et al. in @nytimes.com)

One thing I hope AI search tools encourage is more transparent pricing from SaaS tools. I have no idea if this pricing is correct from Perplexity (probably not 100%) but as more people use AI for comparisons you would think providers would realize they can't hide behind "Contact Sales" buttons.

Interesting that a monopoly is attempting to crowd-source advocacy

Has anyone else noticed a bug in the Google Merchant Center identity verification form? Have client whose account was flagged for Misrepresentation, been trying to resolve for 48 hours, but can't upload docs and support is MIA. Meanwhile client losing sales by the minute with listings and ads down.

I've found a new depth to Google hell. Client's Merchant Center was suspended. Verification form is broken - modal doesn't appear to upload documents. Submitted help ticket about broken form, which was automatically rejected, saying we need to submit verification first using said broken form.

OK this is pretty cool by Wix, and suddenly obvious and weird other site builders haven’t offered this for so long? (Seems extraneous to involve AI but guess you have to include it these days.)

What's going on with Meta Business Suite? See "major disruptions" to basically every system:

Prompt: "A box in the shape of New Jersey, wrapped in Christmas wrapping paper."

The left is Midjourney. The right is Canva's Dream Lab. First time I've used the latter but pretty impressed after wrestling for a half hour with Midjourney - which had been my fav image generator thus far.

Found a super simple way to add Bluesky and GBP icons (like I just added to mine), or any custom icon, to Squarespace sites.

Well there's zero traffic for this particular query but still get a good feeling seeing a #1 ranking

This is literally the 10th time today I've received this message from Meta Business Suite. Is Facebook that much of a mess that it has to harass clearly legitimate users so frequently to try and prevent fraud?

Ordered these custom Google review signs through Etsy for a gym client near me. I don’t love the generic “Review us on Google” signs that use Google’s branding. They get the job done, but Google doesn’t need more brand promotion, small businesses do!
