ABOUT THIS EPISODE

This week, we circle back to a subject that is near and dear to us: Google My Business, aka Google Business Profiles. These profiles are super helpful in local SEO/search and adding photos regularly is a best practice. SearchLab has just completed a car dealer study and let’s just say, the industry is losing out on some powerful marketing by ignoring even the simple, easy tactics.

We also discuss the possible merger of Honda and Nissan. Something neither of us could have imagined ten years ago.
