Google Maps Just Changed—Protect Your SCV Visibility Now 🚨

Local owners: Google just shifted the playing field. Ads and AI summaries are crowding Maps and pushing real businesses down the screen—especially on mobile. If your Google Business Profile (GBP) isn’t dialed in, you’ll lose calls, clicks, and bookings. Here’s your SCV survival plan 👇

✅ What changed (in plain English):
• More sponsored results on top 💰
• AI quick answers reduce website clicks 🤖
• Local Pack still matters but gets squeezed 🗺️
• Mobile users rarely scroll—above-the-fold wins 📱

🏁 Do this today:

1. Tighten your GBP: correct categories, hours, services, attributes, photos, UTM-tagged links.
2. Spark fresh reviews: simple SMS ask after every job; reply to all within 24–48 hrs.
3. Post weekly: offers/events/what’s new with a single CTA.
4. Show real proof: before/after pics, 20–60s vertical clips, team + neighborhood shots.
5. Speed up your site: fast load, click-to-call, one service per page, local hubs (Valencia, Saugus, Canyon Country, Newhall, Stevenson Ranch, Castaic).
6. Track everything: call tracking + UTMs so you know what’s working.
7. Layer smart ads (optional): brand defense + one high-intent service; test, measure, iterate.

📅 14-Day Quick Sprint: reviews ➜ posts ➜ photos/video ➜ citations (Apple Maps, Bing, Yelp, FB, Nextdoor) ➜ service pages ➜ tracking. Small daily steps = big visibility gains.

🎯 Who this helps: Realtors, lenders, contractors, restaurants, salons, gyms—any SCV business that needs phones ringing and calendars booked.

I broke down the full playbook (with examples) in today’s post + video—tap the link above and implement it this week. If you want me to audit and tune your setup, drop “GBP Audit” in the comments or DM. Let’s keep you discoverable, trusted, and booked. 💪
