I'm Gareth VK4GED, and for QNEWS I'm standing outside the Disaster Coordination Centre in Atherton here in far north Queensland. This is where disaster specialists from Tablelands Regional Council meet when there are significant weather or other disruptive events; And it's from here that Radio Amateurs will be called to help in times of community need and where they'll be setting up a radio base at short notice. It's also where the Tablelands Radio & Electronics Club meet every month to discuss and train on matters of communications resilience. I've singled out the Tablelands Club and Council because they have one of the best emergency comms relationships in Queensland. If you have a look at the Tablelands Council's website, you will find pages dedicated to radio communication and the involvement of the Tablelands Club. Search online for "Tablelands resilient communications sub-plan" or click on this link: trc.qld.gov.au/download/resilient-communications-subplan/ The takeaway from this is that legislation makes each Queensland Council responsible for its own area's disaster response. So, if you're a Queensland Radio Amateur and you want to contribute as a communications volunteer in YOUR Council area: Make yourself known to your Mayor, Deputy Mayor and Disaster Coordinator, because they will be the ones to talk to before and during an event; Ask to be involved in your Council's disaster communication exercises and let them know your station's capability, readiness and availability. It's Sunday 12 July; we're starting to come out of the depths of winter, and the one thing that we can predict is that there will be weather today. Hi - I'm John VK4JPM, Secretary of the Darling Downs Radio Club, and it might be worth having a pen ready just in case the interweb and phone network doesn't work. This has not been a good week for technology. Let's start with tomorrow night, which would be Monday 13 July, and in this case the 13th is unlucky for nobody. Our Monthly meeting for July features Contesting, which is Amateur Radio incarnated as a sport. In five weeks the Remembrance Day Contest will be with us, and in just over 24 hours Di Main VK4DI will be along to tell you how to win the RD. As one of Australia's foremost Contesters, Di has had a go at pretty much all Contests on all bands, and under all conditions. She is one of our hobby's Elmers - that's a person who acts as a recognised mentor to help other Hams get started and progress. Di has already mentored the Darling Downs Club, by providing a bit of coaching that enabled our club to take out our category in the John Moyle Contest last March. The RD Contest is looming, and the club has a chance. Di's presence is perfectly timed to provide some support, and your presence is warmly requested to provide some support in return. We're meeting at 1900 at the Guide Hut in Harristown, with all details on the website and also pasted into the text edition of this QNEWS, available from your friendly WIA website. Tea, coffee and timtams, and the hut is going to be comfy warm. We will have an impressive amount of gear to sell, as more of the club's stash has been moved to the hut. Our vice-president Sam VK4SAM has been very busy organising a sale, and in recognition we're having the club's first SAMFest at the same time as the club meeting. Monday 13 July from 1800 for access to the gear. The club's annual general meeting will be held at the Guide Hut at 1800 on Thursday 30 July. Note the time, date and location: all different from last year! The AGM packet will go our shortly, and it's mostly standard business. We will be electing a vice-president, treasurer and two committee members. If you're interested in standing for Committee, the information on how to nominate will be in the AGM packet.

With the annual hot dog eating contest coming up, fill-in host "Donny Football" Chedrick and producer Nicholas "Harry" Callas discuss what it must take for the participants to prepare for such a competition.
In a lighter Fourth of July segment, Ken confesses he has zero interest in grilling culture, competitive eating, or the whole backyard cookout scene, while Lima needles him about it and the two riff on friends with elaborate multi-grill setups. A caller named Diane pushes back on the LeBron-centric roster talk, asking why the Cavs need to add more stars after making a deep playoff run without him, prompting Ken to clarify that trade buzz around names like Jaylen Brown and Donovan Mitchell has mostly been about creating an enticing situation to lure LeBron back rather than an actual teardown. The show wraps with holiday wishes and a nod to the Guardians' big weekend series.

There's no question that team participation in BBQ competitions has been trending downward in recent years. There are no magical solutions as various factor come into play, with economics probably No. 1. On Episode 361 of the Tailgate Guys BBQ Podcast, we take a stab at examining - from a contest organizer's point of view - what makes for a good comp, a not-so-good comp and all points in between with long-time organizer Carl McBee. We hope our listeners will add to the conversation in the comments section, though transparent and frequent communication along with bang-for-your-buck prize funds certainly seem to be at the top of everyone's lists. Co-hosts Lyndal and Steve review their Father's Day cooking results and preview what's ahead as the weather heats up in the short stretch run up to the 4th of July weekend.

In this episode of It's The Bottom Line that Matters, Jennifer R Glass and Patricia Reszetylo continue their series on The New Local: How Hyper Local Positioning Can Out-Perform National Marketing, this time focusing on short-form video and contests as practical tools for local business growth.The conversation starts with short-form video and why it can be so useful for local businesses that want more visibility without needing a national-scale campaign or a massive production budget. Jennifer and Patricia talk about the value of showing what is already happening inside the business, including behind-the-scenes moments, product arrivals, team activity, customer-facing experiences, and the small details that help people feel more connected to the business before they ever walk through the door.They also discuss how short-form video can support a Google Business Profile, which is often one of the first places a potential customer sees a local business. Posting photos and videos there can help make the business feel active, current, and worth paying attention to. Rather than treating video as something that only belongs on TikTok, YouTube Shorts, Facebook, or Instagram, this episode looks at video as a practical visibility asset that can be used wherever local prospects are already looking.Jennifer and Patricia also get into the importance of authenticity. Local business video does not have to be perfectly polished to work. In many cases, the more useful and believable content comes from real moments: a product being opened, a chef preparing something interesting, a team member explaining a process, or a business owner documenting part of the company's story. Planned content still matters, but so does capturing the moments that make a business distinctive.The episode then shifts into contests and how they can be used to create participation, referrals, and local buzz. Jennifer and Patricia discuss why a contest needs to be relevant to the business and interesting to the people the business wants to attract. A generic giveaway may get attention for a moment, but a well-designed contest can create more meaningful engagement, especially when it connects to other local businesses, encourages people to participate in the community, or gives customers a reason to talk about the business with others.From behind-the-scenes video and Google Business Profile updates to partnership-driven contests and scavenger-hunt-style promotions, this episode gives local business owners practical ideas for becoming more visible, more memorable, and more engaging in their own market.Topics covered include: local marketing, hyper-local marketing, hyper local positioning, short-form video, video marketing, local business marketing, small business marketing, contests, business contests, social media marketing, Google Business Profile, local SEO, behind-the-scenes video, business storytelling, customer engagement, small business growth, local visibility, community marketing, restaurant marketing, content marketing, video content, social media contests, business differentiation, customer attraction, brand awareness, local business promotion, referral marketing, authentic marketing, organic content, business visibility, Fathom AI NotetakerAbout your hosts: Jennifer R Glass is the lead host of It's The Bottom Line that Matters. In this episode, she brings a practical marketing perspective to local business growth, especially around Google Business Profile visibility, short-form video, contests, and ways businesses can create more engagement through useful, relevant marketing.Patricia Reszetylo is a recurring host of It's The Bottom Line that Matters. In this episode, she shares ideas from her own business-building experience, including how behind-the-scenes video, authentic content, unique local stories, and creative contest structures can help a business stand out in its own market.

Google Review Policy Changes: What Coworking Operators Must Do Right Now Google issued major updates to its Maps user-generated content policy in April 2026, and if you've been relying on any of the review strategies that have been standard practice in coworking for years, you need to stop and read this now. These changes directly affect how you can ask for, manage, and even display Google reviews. And it's not just about new reviews Google has deployed Gemini AI enforcement tools that are actively scanning your existing review history for violations. Phase three enforcement, which includes ranking penalties, is expected in May and June 2026. There is no time to sit on this. In this episode, Jamie walks through all eight policy changes and exactly what you need to do about each one. Why Your Google Business Profile Is Non-Negotiable Before diving into the changes: your Google Business Profile is the top of the funnel for your coworking business. When someone searches "coworking near me" or "meeting rooms near me," the map pack is what they see first and your profile is what lives there. It gets 10 to 20 times the traffic your website gets. Reviews are a core part of what keeps that profile current, credible, and ranking well. Losing review functionality or getting your profile suspended is not a minor setback. For most coworking operators, it is effectively a lead generation crisis. That's why this update matters so much. The 8 Policy Changes 1. No More Onsite Review Solicitation: You can no longer ask customers to leave a review while they are physically in your space. Google considers this pressured solicitation. That means: No verbal asks to members or meeting room users while they're on site No tablet at the front desk with a review prompt pulled up No QR codes in the space linking to your Google review page No asking event attendees on their way out the door Google can detect when reviews are submitted from your business location and will flag patterns of onsite reviews as inauthentic. What to do: Remove any review-related signage and QR codes. Replace with neutral language "We'd love your feedback" without mentioning Google specifically. Shift all review requests to automated follow-up emails or texts that go out after someone has left the building. 2. No More Incentivized Reviews: You cannot offer anything of value in exchange for a Google review. That includes: Free day passes or meeting room credits Membership discounts Referral program perks tied to leaving a review Staff bonuses or KPI tracking tied to Google reviews Contests or challenges (including internal programs like the Google Review Challenge we've run in Community Manager University, which need to be restructured) Offering to refund a visit or provide a credit in exchange for removing or revising a negative review What to do: Decouple your review strategy from any rewards or referral programs entirely. If you run a review challenge or staff incentive program, restructure it around general feedback, not Google reviews specifically. Focus team energy on delivering experiences worth writing about organically. 3. No More Review Gating Review gating means filtering customers based on their likely sentiment before directing them to Google. The common setup looks like this: ask for a thumbs up or thumbs down, send the happy people to the Google review page (defaulted to five stars), and send the unhappy people to a private feedback email. That is no longer allowed. Every customer must receive the same call to action, sent to the same destination, regardless of how they might feel about their experience. This increases your exposure to negative reviews, which means two things matter more than ever: delivering a genuinely great experience, and getting in front of problems immediately before someone leaves the space unhappy and heads straight to Google. What to do: Audit any gating logic in your CRM automations whether you're using CoLevel, ActiveCampaign, HubSpot, or another platform. Update those sequences so everyone receives the same follow-up with neutral feedback language. Remove direct links to Google reviews with language specifically asking for a Google review. You can still link to your Google Business Profile; you just cannot use the word Google or make it a conditional destination. 4. No Asking for Specific Content or Staff Name Mentions You cannot coach reviewers to mention specific products, services, or team members by name. That means: No asking members to mention private offices or meeting rooms in their reviews No asking guests to thank a specific community manager by name No staff incentive programs built around getting mentioned in reviews Google's AI will scan for these text patterns and flag or remove reviews that appear to have been coached. This is particularly tricky because keyword mentions in reviews do help with SEO but the path forward is to create experiences so compelling that people mention what matters naturally, without being asked. What to do: Let reviewers write whatever they write. If you want meeting room reviews, set up automated follow-ups specifically triggered by meeting room bookings people will naturally describe what they did. SEO-optimize your Google Business Profile through other means, including your posts, which you can and should still be doing intentionally. 5. No Fake Reviews Every Google review must reflect a genuine customer experience. Reviews from friends, family members, or team members who haven't actually used the space as a customer will be removed. This is especially common during new space launches, when operators ask their personal networks for support. What to do: Don't ask for reviews from non-customers. It wastes everyone's time and it won't hold up. Put that energy into getting reviews from real members, meeting room users, and event guests through compliant automated systems. 6. No Cross-Platform Review Campaigns You cannot use other platforms (social media, email lists, community groups) to coordinate Google review campaigns. That includes: Posting in your Facebook group asking members to leave a Google review Sending an email blast to your full membership asking for reviews Promoting a "Review Friday" push in your member Slack channel Instagram Stories with a link to your Google review page Google can detect when a batch of reviews comes in all at once and will flag that pattern as coordinated and inauthentic. What to do: Replace campaigns with individual, automated, trigger-based follow-ups. The goal is a steady drip of reviews tied to specific interactions (a tour, a day pass, an event, a membership milestone), not a wave that arrives all at once. This also distributes the timing naturally so no pattern gets flagged. 7. No AI-Generated Reviews Google's AI can detect text generated by ChatGPT, Claude, and similar tools and will remove those reviews. Even if you're sending compliant automated emails, if you suggest that members use AI to write their review or provide a template they can feed into AI, those reviews could still get flagged. What to do: Do not suggest that members use AI to write reviews. Do not provide pre-written review templates. Consider adding language to your automated review requests asking people to share their experience in their own words. 8. Reviews Must Come from a Personal Device Reviews must be submitted from the reviewer's personal device. No front desk tablets, no shared computers, no staff member handing someone a phone with the review page already pulled up. What to do: Most operators aren't doing this anyway, but if you have any setup that makes it easy for someone to leave a review from a shared device on-site, remove it. The Enforcement Timeline March 2026: Google activated new Gemini AI detection systems and began scanning, including existing review histories. April 2026: Active enforcement began. Non-compliant reviews are being removed. Google has already removed reviews from over 60,000 businesses and placed posting restrictions on over 782,000 accounts. May/June 2026 (Phase 3): Ranking adjustments will be applied to businesses with significant policy violations. Your search visibility could drop. This is not a "deal with it later" situation. Your Action Plan 1. Audit your automations. Check your CRM (CoLevel, ActiveCampaign, HubSpot, Pipedrive, etc.) and your coworking management platform (OfficeRnD, Nexudus, Optix, Coworks, Archy, Yardi) for any automated emails or SMS sequences that request Google reviews. Update any gating logic, remove direct Google review links, and adjust the language to be neutral. Also consider scheduling automated follow-ups to go out after hours or on weekends if members receive and respond to them while still on-site, it could still trigger a flag. 2. Update signage and physical touchpoints. Walk through your space and remove any QR codes, signs, or collateral that ask for a Google review or link directly to your review page. Replace with neutral feedback language or remove entirely. Check welcome packets, onboarding materials, and anything printed. 3. Retrain your team. Your community managers, front desk staff, and any outsourced marketing contractors need to know exactly what changed. Brief them on what they cannot say, cannot ask, and cannot offer. Give them this episode. CMU members will receive a cheat sheet and support playbook shortly. 4. Remove all incentive programs tied to reviews. Any staff bonus structures, contests, or member incentives connected to Google reviews need to come down immediately. 5. Build review generation into your systems, not your scripts. Set up automated, trigger-based one-to-one follow-ups for key moments: post-tour, 30 days into membership, after a meeting room booking, after an event. No campaigns, no broadcasts. Individual, triggered, automated. 6. Revisit the member and guest experience. The best long-term review strategy is an experience people cannot help but talk about. Use this as a forcing function to audit the full member and guest journey: what's frustrating, what's forgettable, and what's genuinely great. Get a peer or outside set of eyes on it if you can.
