If you're still relying on Google traffic and ad revenue to grow your blog, here's the hard truth: that era is over. In this episode of The Blogger Genius Podcast, I sat down with Katie Trant of Foodie Brand Lab to talk about the seismic shift happening in online business. AI is changing how people search, generic content is flooding the internet, and Google algorithm updates are gutting traffic overnight. So what is working now? Katie and I break it down: it's time to stop chasing SEO and start building a memorable brand that people search for by name.

Bloggers who mastered keyword research could build passive income machines. But now? With Google's updates and AI tools like ChatGPT answering simple questions instantly, those days are behind us. Katie shared how even her most high-performing posts like “how to cook dried chickpeas” are losing relevance—not because they're bad, but because users now ask AI instead of clicking through to a blog. What's the solution? You Are the Unique Ingredient The only thing that can't be copied by AI is you. Whether you're sharing chocolate chip cookie recipes or parenting tips, your voice, values, personality, and brand are what make you stand out. Katie puts it perfectly: “The only truly unique thing about your recipe is you.” That means showing up as a real person—on video, in your writing, and across your digital products. And yes, that means being relatable and even a little imperfect.

Send us a textEver wondered why some home service businesses become household names while others remain forgettable? The secret isn't just clever digital marketing or a fancy logo—it's building genuine community relationships that transform customers into raving fans.Crystal, founder and lead strategist at Lemon Seed Marketing, pulls back the curtain on what truly separates market leaders from the competition. With passion and practical wisdom, she challenges the common misconception that your brand is merely your logo. While visual identity matters, it's only the introduction—not the relationship. True brand building happens when your technicians roll trash cans up driveways for elderly customers, when your mascot high-fives local kids, and when your team shows up consistently as positive community members.The harsh truth Crystal delivers? Most contractors won't commit to genuine community marketing because it demands sustained effort and creativity. But those who persevere gain tremendous advantages. Rather than simply writing sponsorship checks and slapping logos on banners, successful brands customize their community presence in memorable ways—transforming putting greens into branded experiences, creating signature charitable moments, and generating authentic content that resonates long after the event ends.This approach creates what Crystal calls "the top of the funnel" marketing that builds brand awareness and trust before customers ever need your services. When market demand fluctuates or digital advertising falters, companies with strong community relationships maintain stability through word-of-mouth and brand loyalty. The key is layering these community efforts with digital marketing, direct mail, and other tactics for a comprehensive approach where "2+2=5."Ready to transform your home service brand from a forgettable logo into a beloved community fixture? Take Crystal's challenge to think outside the box, show up consistently, and create the kind of authentic connections that competitors can't easily replicate. Because when market conditions get tough, it's not your logo that saves you—it's the relationships you've built one community interaction at a time.If you enjoyed this chat From the Yellow Chair, consider joining our newsletter, "Let's Sip Some Lemonade," where you can receive exclusive interviews, our bank of helpful downloadables, and updates on upcoming content.
