AI and SEO: What Small Business Owners Actually Need to Know
You've probably seen the headlines: AI is killing SEO. AI is the future of SEO. AI is everything, everywhere, all at once.
Here's the thing—most of that noise doesn't apply to your restaurant or local business the way you think it does.

But before you panic and think your website is useless, let's talk about what this actually means for your business—and what you can do about it without becoming a tech expert.

Current info, recent photos, active responses. Guess where I went? Your Google Business Profile isn't just a listing—it's often the first real impression customers get. And if it's outdated, you've lost them before they ever walked through your door.
