If you’re like most small business owners or busy marketing directors, staying on top of the latest changes in digital marketing can feel like a full-time job. So here’s what you really need to know about Google’s newest update — and why it matters to you.
In all of my internal and external client conversations, one question has recently dominated conversations: Where have all the paid ads gone? Have you noticed that Google paid ads are virtually invisible in search engine result pages?? I was aware that AIOs were coming and taking over a lot of space within the SERPs but, I have to admit, I didn’t expect such a drastic change so quickly! There is no doubt that the traditional landscape of SERPs is – HAS shifted dramatically. There’s no way around this, the AI Overviews often occupy prime real estate, paid ads are being pushed further down the page or disappearing altogether.
Digital marketing is noisy—and getting noisier. AI tools are everywhere. SEO feels like it changes daily. Algorithms change. Budgets get tighter. New tools emerge. TikTok or Facebook? Paid or organic? Email still worth it? It’s no wonder business owners and marketing managers find themselves asking: Where do I even start? It’s easy to feel stuck before you even start. Whether you’re launching something new or getting serious about growth, here’s how to start smart—and stay focused.
If you’re a service-based business looking to generate qualified local leads, Google’s Local Services Ads (LSAs) might be your most powerful (and underused) tool. Unlike traditional paid search ads, LSAs are pay-per-lead, appear above all other search results, and carry trust signals like the Google Guaranteed badge. But how do they work and are they right for your business? Here’s a breakdown of what LSAs are, how they support search optimization, and what you need to consider before diving in.
The way we market our products and services is constantly changing; we have seen this in the past and we will continue to see this in the future. Why? Because when something affects our lives, as we have experienced personally the past two years, interests and habits are likely to change as a result.
We talk a lot about metadata at ieInteractive because it can substantially impact your click through rate. It’s what users see in search results, and can persuade a user to click on your search result over your competitors. Here’s some information to help you wrap your head around metadata – including what it is, how it works and why it matters.
If you have your own website, or manage websites for clients, you might be wondering, “What is Google’s ‘Speed Update’ and what does it mean for me?” Find out the answers below in addition to a few tips to help prepare yourself.
