- 0:00Local business. Episode one hundred and sixty- nine Hello, everyone. I
- 0:15' m Laura Alfonso and I' m welcoming you to one more week at
- 0:20my podcast, a weekly space. Where we talk about your Google file b
- 0:23nuesto file, your website, intentions, user search, reviews, digital analytics,
- 0:26links or artificial intelligence, with the aim of making your local business more
- 0:31visible on the Internet thanks to the improvement of your positioning. Searchers subscribe to
- 0:44my program, in your regular podcast player or from my website the work Alfonso
- 0:49com where you will also find all the notes of this episode and in addition,
- 0:55you have the possibility to subscribe to the news letter of local business that
- 0:59leaves tomorrow. Where I will tell you news of interest for your business and
- 1:03that does not give me time to address in today' s episode and this
- 1:08week we will advance the classic of end of month, where we echo all
- 1:12the news that Google has brought us and that can affect the position of the
- 1:17local level. And why we put it forward for a week, because next
- 1:19week is Easter and we take it off. So let' s go with
- 1:34the news. The first novelty is the great turbulence that is taking place in
- 1:38the laser results, because there are many pages that are being disconnected and why.
- 1:44Because they' re acting in parallel two pages. On the one hand,
- 1:48we have the Hellull with the Update, which is trying to measure the
- 1:53quality of the different pages and, on the other hand, we have the
- 1:56spanapte. The Span Update ended its deployment yesterday and had three objectives. On
- 2:01the one hand, avoiding the use of reputable sites that allowed them to host
- 2:09third- party content on their pages and in that way that site had a
- 2:14lot of reputation. You incorporated your content there a link and you benefited from
- 2:19that positioning that had good, because that is being penalized. It is also
- 2:23being penalized the purchase of expired domains to better position what happens, that yes,
- 2:29that you can buy inspired domains, but then if the content that is
- 2:34associated with them is not good, then logically, that positioning that had that
- 2:39expired domain because you are not really going to maintain it. And here we
- 2:44go to the third focus of this span update that was precisely to fight against
- 2:50the abuse of generating content on a large scale and that does not really bring
- 2:54value to the user. And that is also closely related to the other ap
- 2:59date that is unfolding, which is a cora date where, moreover, we
- 3:02have already been told that it incorporates the hellish with tanadate that the hellull condemns
- 3:07date. What it seeks is precisely to generate quality content, and that implies
- 3:15that you must not abuse artificial intelligence to create content. If that content created
- 3:19is not even, it is not adding value to the user. And it
- 3:23is that, in fact, in a study that has led today originality point,
- 3:30there it turns out that it has found that of the hundred percent of
- 3:34the siles that are being affected, they all show the content generated by artificial
- 3:40intelligence. Specifically, they say that fifty percent are having between ninety and one
- 3:47hundred percent of their posts generated by already, and it seems that that is
- 3:53what is causing, that many pages of different domains are being deindexed. What
- 4:00needs to be done, because what they ask us to do is, on
- 4:01the one hand, calm down and wait for the two updates to be fully
- 4:06deployed. One is already fully deployed. We' re missing the corapdate to
- 4:11see what' s happened and what we have to do. But what'
- 4:14s clear is that Google wants human content, made for humans, because if
- 4:19we can' t find these problems and we' ve been told that we
- 4:24' re going to use artificial intelligence. But artificial intelligence does not add anything
- 4:30and does not add value you will be penalized, and that is precisely what
- 4:33is looking for this coraupdate that is bringing a lot of websites to the head
- 4:42Let' s go with the next novelty that has to do with our date
- 4:46of Google Business committed specifically with the part of services. You know that the
- 4:48services part is a section that helps both rank and convert, and it is
- 4:55recommended that you look at what are the automatic services that Google suggests based on
- 5:00the categories and you can also put additional services. Both of them help us,
- 5:06and I' m telling you, it' s at the positioning level.
- 5:10Well, now Google, what it' s setting up are two sections.
- 5:15Within this section, services. A priori you might think that I was
- 5:19going to put the sections of the automatic services and the added services, as
- 5:25no. What you are doing is incorporating a section for the services you may
- 5:30have reservations with and additional services. It is clear that to incorporate the part
- 5:36of services with reservations you must integrate your tab with a third party platform To
- 5:44get the option of that button. If you already work with a third party
- 5:46recommended by Google, you may soon, if you' re not in the
- 5:50United States, see that double division for those who don' t work with
- 5:57a third- party platform. Even if we have the possibility to book services
- 6:00topics through our website, in principle we will not have that option and we
- 6:04should not worry at all. The third development relates to appeals proceedings. When
- 6:12the chips were suspended, well, when a tab was suspended, we had
- 6:18before us the possibility of making an appeal and if we did not reactivate the
- 6:24tab, the truth is that if we were quite limited the options. Well,
- 6:28now we have the option to appeal again and ask for a review of
- 6:33the situation if the first response has not been favourable. I leave you in
- 6:40the program notes in the article the link for the first appeal and the link
- 6:46for there to be a review of that appeal if in the end you have
- 6:50not managed to reactivate your file. So, on that side, it looks
- 6:53like there' s good news and that Google is open to reviews when we
- 6:59don' t finish being satisfied, and it' s that in the end
- 7:02that we' re suspended from chips and not getting them reactivated is a real
- 7:04problem. Well, it seems that we have a little more flexibility on that
- 7:09side. The following novelty has to do with social media publications on the tab.
- 7:15That' s what we talked about last week. I leave the link
- 7:18also in the notes and I just wanted to make a point to clarify the
- 7:26social media publications in the tab will appear as long as you have updated the
- 7:31basic information of what your social networks are at the date, but Google will
- 7:35not invent it. But not only that. I also wanted to tell you
- 7:41that the publications on the tab will appear when the user is doing brand searches.
- 7:48This does, which already makes a little more sense to me, because,
- 7:51as I told you last week, the part of publications on the tab.
- 7:58We always had to work them in a transactional way, because the snippet
- 8:03could only appear if the local pack jumped. And we know that only the
- 8:07local pack jumps when there really is a search where the user normally wants to
- 8:13go to that establishment. However, the nature of social media publications is much
- 8:18more informative. Then I didn' t fit in too much. That'
- 8:24s why it already makes a little more sense to know that social media publications
- 8:28on the tab will appear before brand searches. So, if they don'
- 8:33t know you, they won' t find them. So you have to
- 8:35keep doing a generation job, branding to find you and find everything you'
- 8:41re working on at the content level. However, the doubt that also arises
- 8:48is hear this means that Google' s publications Busnessprofile has died. I think
- 8:54a priori that I should not because, as I say, some attack transactional
- 9:01attentions and others more informational. But what is true is that a reduction in
- 9:05the number of justification snippets related to publications in the local pack part is being
- 9:13seen. So we' ll have to go through tests and see, because
- 9:18it' s true that generating publications takes a job and if in the end
- 9:22they' re not going to help position and they' re not going to
- 9:26help jump the flaw of justification, so what to do. So we'
- 9:28ll go through this and see what happens. The following novelty affects hotels and
- 9:35restaurants completely, if it seems that they will improve their organic traffic from the
- 9:39tab and their impressions on the local pack. And why, because Google is
- 9:46adding direct links to the websites of these businesses, precisely in the local pack,
- 9:52because, for example, for the restaurants appeared what we call the snack
- 9:56pack, which appears the name of the restaurant business and appeared the photos,
- 10:01the photo carousel on the right, but there was no possibility of clicking on
- 10:05the website or calling, for example. Well, now Google is really showing
- 10:13website. It looks very small. It' s underlined, but it looks
- 10:18very small. It is not visualized as in other types of localpags, and
- 10:22that you want it not to help attract business to restaurants, but the curious
- 10:26thing is also that they are appearing in the part of hotels and it is
- 10:33strange, because Google what I didn' t want was to send you directly
- 10:39from the package of hotels to the website, because Google earns money if you
- 10:43book through its platform. Well, now it looks like it is including the
- 10:46website part and you can book directly at the hotel by skipping to Google.
- 10:54This seems to be derived from European competition rules. Anyway, it' s
- 11:01really good news for this kind of business. Next novelty has to do with
- 11:05a study that has been carried out and that I found very interesting and tells
- 11:09us. What it tells us is that the user also reaches the businesses that
- 11:15are in fourth fifth position already we know that it is priority that the businesses
- 11:22jump in the local pack, that they are well positioned, because the fact
- 11:24that the user has to click to see more business is much more complicated.
- 11:30And yes, this is true. But it turns out in a study they
- 11:33' ve done since Nir Media they tell us that twenty- six percent of
- 11:39computer users click on that button to see more results and on the mobile they
- 11:43do thirty- six percent. It is logical that on the mobile it is
- 11:48made by more people, because in the end the local packs on the mobile
- 11:52are usually smaller. If we normally find two results, two results, maybe
- 11:56too little. It invites the user to know more. I think that'
- 12:03s why there' s that twenty- six percent difference in test that clicks
- 12:09against thirty- six percent on mobile. Be that as it may, then
- 12:13good news. Being in a fourth fifth position is also an opportunity to continue
- 12:18getting business. But let us not forget that the interesting thing is precisely to
- 12:24position in those first three results. Next novelty has to do with the different
- 12:28tests that Google is doing the chips when it comes to displaying reviews. We
- 12:33are seeing that the noble panel on many occasions the reviews appear at the top,
- 12:39just below the business name. Then we have other cases where they do
- 12:45not appear and other cases where they appear just below the relevant information, that
- 12:50is, under the contact schedule, etc. In the end, what is
- 12:54the information that will stay and where will stay. We don' t know
- 12:58yet. As I say, there' s been a lot of tests.
- 13:01We have the following novelty with the perspective filter, which we can say is
- 13:05broken down into two. We talked about this in previous episodes and said how
- 13:11Google, given the flood that is taking place in generating content through artificial intelligence,
- 13:16was being forced to establish some kind of mechanism that would ensure that the
- 13:20content it is offering through the search engine is actually made by humans and for
- 13:28humans. And the prospect filter was precisely what I was looking for was to
- 13:33find those precious gems within the content generated by other users on other platforms,
- 13:39such as Instagram, tiktok, etcetera. What is happening, that there are
- 13:43also other very interesting platforms, such as those of forums. And that'
- 13:48s why we also talked and two episodes ago about the agreement that Google had
- 13:54reached with Reddit, precisely because to understand how people communicate with the use of
- 14:01language and all that helped that dep learning of their intelligent artificial. So,
- 14:07in the end, we' re talking about human content, but it'
- 14:11s generated in different ways. Some are generated in social networks, where we
- 14:13find video, content in video format, but then we also find other types
- 14:20of content, which are forums, where the information is more in text.
- 14:24Well, Google, what you' ve decided is precisely to divide it into
- 14:28everyone, and that' s why we' re going to have the perspective
- 14:31filter and the forum filter. The forum filter, as they were Reddit-
- 14:35type forums. And in the perspective filter what we will find are those short
- 14:39videos and that user- generated content that you find on platforms like, for
- 14:45example, tiktok or Instagram. And let' s go with the latest news.
- 14:50What is the classic, what are the new categories, because I don
- 14:54' t know if Google is very entertaining with these ubdates and doesn' t
- 15:00leave us alone that it has wanted to relax in the part of new categories.
- 15:03And today, on March 21st, we only have one new category,
- 15:07which is a garbage collection service. So whoever applies it, let him know
- 15:11he can already incorporate it, since we' re done. Gentlemen, these
- 15:16have been the most important developments as far as local is concerned for further developments.
- 15:22Remember that you have the local business news letter, where we address topics
- 15:28that do not give time to address in the episode each week. I hope
- 15:33it has been of interest to you and, as always, that you can
- 15:37apply it to your local business as always. Thank you all so much for
- 15:41your five- star reviews on Apple Podcast and Spotify, as well as the
- 15:46comments you leave me on these platforms and also on Evox, and remember that
- 15:50you can also hear me on Amazon Music, Google Podcast, Podcast on all
- 15:54of them, and it would help me a lot if you subscribed to the
- 16:00local business channel from your favorite podcast platform, as that way you would give
- 16:03me more visibility and could reach more people. And remember that in Laura Alfonso
- 16:07com sos, you have different courses to position your local business and with that
- 16:15you get more customers. And now we just need to close it, but
- 16:18only until next week, not that we rest, but until within two weeks,
- 16:23where we will hear again and, therefore, where it will be here
- 16:27in local businesses. Happy week, Happy week, Santa rest and see you
- 16:33in fifteen days
