Google LSA expands to new categories & faces spam: Google has added new, high value categories to their Local SErvice Ads program. They continue to target ever more service type businesses. While the pricing for this simpler product has gone up due to the added auction capabilities, in many markets it is still a good value. It is also important for service type businesses to watch for first mover opportunities in their local markets. With this link: Local Service Finder - Pro List businesses can assess which categories in which geographies have more opportunities. However in some urban, highly competitive markets like personal injury law & locksmiths, not only has pricing gone crazy, spam has as well. Google has added a new LSA spam review reporting form to cope with some of the fake review issues. ChatGPT making rapid and differentiating inroads into SAAS tools for Local: The players in the local space have all become pretty similar to each other offering listings, review management, Google Posts with little to distinguish them. But with the advent of large language models in general and ChatGPT specifically, many have begun to offer unique tools on top of their core products that leverage the generative AI capabilities. The value of generative AI will first be realized in the SAAS world where the benefits can be easily added to existing products to increase business productivity. Hubspot's ChatUX shows how this can be integrated into a CMS and Uberall shows how it can improve access to a company's granular data like inventory. Why every company needs a “how we use AI” FAQ: Wired recently published an article on how they will use generative AI tools vis a vis their written and visual content. They detail whether they will use AI to write or edit articles (they won't), whether they will use it to generate ideas and headlines (they might) and whether they will use it to create story graphics (they won't due to artists not receiving royalties).Jennifer Slegg on Twitter, using a creative Google search, demonstrated just how many businesses are currently using generative AI and blindly copying and pasting it onto their websites. This raises the question of whether not just Wired but everyone that creates content - writers, SEO firms, SEMs and more - should consider both an internal code of ethics and a forward facing statement of those values.The Near Memo is a weekly conversation about Search, Social, and Commerce: What happened, why it matters, and the implications for local businesses and national brands.near memo ep 104Subscribe to our 3x per week newsletter at https://www.nearmedia.co/subscribe/

Directors Cut: David and I have been doing these deep dives on the raters guide for many years and have found them very useful in making, to a lesser degree, adjustments to our SEO techniques, however, it is a big part of the content strategy because if Google is saying to raters rate this lowest if you see this on the website... I think it is a good idea not to do that on your website! I hope you enjoy the video or audio as much as we did making it! The Hangout Video: Highlights Introductions: Jennifer Slegg of The SEM Post, Bill Slawski blogs on SEO By the SEA and Director of SEO Research at Go Fish Digital and Doc Sheldon Doc is the owner and editor of Search News Central and copy and technical SEO company Intrinsic Value SEO and Ammon Johns. Are these Ranking Factors: The panel discussed how they explain to clients and other SEO's what the raters Guide is and what is it used for. 7:24 - Jennifer Slegg's Executive Summary of Changes: Like many on this panel Jennifer has been analyzing the Guide for years. What is the purpose of the page and reputation of main content creator/authors as well reputation of site were at the top of her list. Terry mentioned that they had added sharing as purpose of a page. 13:24 - Ammon Johns on copy, usability and Machine Learning: Ammon discussed how Google uses the raters assessments for use with in their Machine Learning systems to improve and assess the Machine learning Algos. Bill and others discussed how the raters are part of the machine learning framework. 20:58 - Discussion of Authorship: New stress on expertise and reputation of content creators not just the website. Bill talks about knowledgebase trust. There are a lot of tips for establishing reputation for authors 30:45 - Low Quality Pages: YMOYL pages need more trust and expertise. No expertise should be almost always low quality. Safety has been added to the YMOYL pages because of misinformation about safety (fake medical info). New emphasis on POP (Purpose of Page) and accessing clickbait title accuracy (likely to filter fake news). 48:55 - Deceptive page design and low page quality traits: Jennifer started the discussion outlining some of the deceptive tactics like disguising ads or affiliate links, distracting content, copied content 101:50 - List of Most Important Factors: Jennifer details the changes indicated in this new list which led to a discussion of beneficial purpose of page and value add. Terry and Dave took the position that value add was a page to page comparison whereas beneficial POP was about intent of user and website. 1:15:00 - Raters Guide For Future Proofing Your SEO: The discussion turned to how the Panel uses the rater guideline to adjust their SEO activity which Dave & Terry have been advocates of Future Proofing stressing its importance in the Dojo from the first day forward. Basically SEO future Proofing is taking info like the raters guide and using it to adjust your SEO activity going forward because as Ammon pointed out our recommendations should be useful for years not months.
