    Episode 203 | How to rank in the Google Local Pack in 2026? ️
    Jan 15 2026

    How to rank in the Google Local Pack in 2026? ️ Are you still chasing "brand awareness" while your competitor is chasing the customer standing right on your street corner? ‍♂️ It's 2026. The digital landscape has radically shifted again. General web traffic is fine, but local search is where the fastest money is made. Period. Why? Because when someone searches on their phone locally, they aren't researching a dissertation. They are in crisis mode. They are ready to buy right now. Let this stat sink in: 78% of local mobile searches result in an offline purchase. If your business isn't showing up in the Google "Local Pack" (those top three map spots) or the new AI-assisted local results, you aren't just missing clicks. You are actively handing your revenue to the guys down the street. In my latest deep-dive blog post for Business Solutions Marketing Group, I'm breaking down exactly how to dominate this "wallet-out economy." We talk about why N.A.P. consistency is the holy grail, why reviews are the new keywords for AI, and how to get into that VIP Local Pack section. ️✨ Stop letting "ready-to-buy" customers slip through your fingers.

    Episode 202 | That 1-Star review is costing you (Here's the timeline to fix it)
    Jan 15 2026

    That 1-Star review is costing you (Here's the timeline to fix it)

    That notification sound used to excite me. Now, it makes my stomach drop. You know the one. New Google Review. ⭐

    Is it a happy customer? Or is it "Anonymous User" leaving a 1-star bomb on the reputation you built from scratch?

    If you are staring at a fake or unfair review right now, I know the panic. 94% of consumers avoid businesses with bad reviews. That isn't just annoying; that is money walking out your door.

    The first question every client asks me is: "Linda, how long until it's gone?"

    Google says 3 days. Reality says... grab a Snickers. It's going to be a while. ⏳

    In my latest blog post, I break down the real timeline of review removal. We are seeing complex fake reviews take up to 30 days to get escalated and removed through appeals.

    Don't just click "flag" and hope for the best. You need a strategy based on Google's policies, not your emotions.

    Read the full breakdown of the timeline and the exact steps to take here: [Link to Blog Post]

    P.S. Tired of fighting Google? We handle removals for you. And the best part? You pay $0 until the review is gone. Seriously. Link in bio to learn more. ️

    Reputation Management in 2026

    "It takes 20 years to build a reputation and five seconds for AI to summarize it."

    We need to talk about the biggest shift in local marketing for 2026.

    You might be celebrating that new 5-star review that says "Highly recommend!" But here is the hard truth: That review is virtually useless to Google.

    Why? Because in 2026, AI algorithms (like Google's SGE) are reading your reviews to find keywords. They are looking for specific services like "emergency plumbing," "child custody," or "tax audit." If your reviews are generic, the AI ignores them. You stay invisible.

    But the problem is, clients don't know what to write! They stare at the blank box, get "Reviewer's Block," and give up. ‍♀️

    At Business Solutions Marketing Group, we fixed this.

    ✨ Introducing our AI Review Builder: A tool that writes the review for your client. It injects the perfect SEO keywords, and all they have to do is click "Approve." You get better rankings, they save time. Win-win.

    And about those 1-star reviews... Do you have a fake or unfair review dragging down your average? Stop living with it! We have a "No Win, No Fee" removal service. We fight to get it deleted. If we fail, you pay $0.

    Don't let an algorithm—or a bitter ex-employee—ruin your legacy.

    Is Your Competitor Down the Street Stealing Your Clients? ⚖️

    Let's be real for a second. You might be the best attorney in town. You have the experience, the passion, and the track record. But if potential clients can't see you on Page 1 of Google, you are essentially invisible.

    It's frustrating, right? Seeing mediocre firms get the cases you deserve just because they have a better map listing.

    Here is the hard truth: 66% of call conversions in the legal sector now come directly from organic search. That's not billboards. That's someone typing "divorce lawyer near me" and clicking the first name they see.

    If you are ignoring Local SEO, you aren't just leaving money on the table; you are handing it to the competition.

    Stop being the best-kept secret in your city. In my latest blog post for Business Solutions Marketing Group, I'm breaking down the exact playbook we use to turn small law firms into local powerhouses.

    We cover the 7 non-negotiable strategies for 2025, including: Why your Google Business Profile is your new homepage (and how most screw it up). ⭐ The psychological power of reviews and why you MUST respond to the bad ones. Why your mobile site experience is costing you leads every single day.

    Don't panic. Local SEO isn't magic. It's a series of practical steps. Let's get your name on the map.

    Episode 199 | Stop Ignoring Your Negative Google Reviews The Silent Revenue Killer in Your Business
    Jan 8 2026

    Stop Ignoring Your Negative Google Reviews The Silent Revenue Killer in Your Business Be honest... when you're looking for a new service, do you click on the 3-star option? Probably not. You scroll right past them to the 4.9-star competitors. Here is the hard truth for lawyers and small business owners in 2026: 94% of consumers avoid a business completely just because of negative reviews. You spend years building your expertise and reputation. Then, one disgruntled person—or worse, a fake profile or a competitor—posts a scathing 1-star review on Google. Suddenly, the phone stops ringing. You are losing good leads and real revenue every single day that review sits at the top of your profile. Most marketing advice says, "Just bury it with good reviews!" But that doesn't work anymore. Human psychology focuses on the negative; that one bad review sticks out like a sore thumb. But here's the good news: You don't just have to take it. ️ While you can't remove a review just because it's "mean," you CAN get it removed if it violates Google's strict Terms of Service. This includes fake reviews, obvious conflicts of interest (like former employees), or spam. At Business Solutions Marketing Group, we act as your digital defense team. We don't use tricks; we use policy to build a case and get malicious reviews removed permanently. Don't let a stranger dictate your firm's future. Take control of your narrative.

    Episode 198 | Dominate 2026 with BSMG’s Gold Program: Expert video marketing & SEO tailored for real growth.

    Stop Being Just Another Number: Why Small Business Video Marketing Services by Business Solutions Marketing Group is the Growth Partner You Need in 2026 You didn't start your business to become a full-time marketer. You started it because you are an incredible lawyer, a skilled contractor, or a visionary service provider. Yet, here you are, staring at a screen, wondering why your competitor—who is frankly half as talented as you—is ranking #1 on Google while you are stuck on page three. It is infuriating. Here is a hard statistic to swallow: 47% of small business owners handle marketing entirely on their own, and most of them burn out or waste their budget within the first year. I'm Linda Donnelly. For over a decade, I have run Business Solutions Marketing Group (BSMG), and I have seen the same tragedy play out a thousand times. With a proven track record of delivering results for clients across various industries, BSMG stands out for its reliability and expertise. Our track record includes helping businesses achieve measurable growth and success through tailored video marketing strategies. A business owner signs up with a massive, “big box” marketing agency that promises the moon. Six months later, they are just a ticket number in a support queue, paying thousands of dollars for a generic strategy that hasn't generated a single qualified lead. The marketing landscape of 2026 is brutal. It is driven by AI, hyper-local proximity rules, and video dominance. You cannot afford to be a small fish in a big agency's pond. You need a partner, not a vendor. Today, I want to explain why BSMG is the specific solution for businesses that are tired of guessing and ready to grow, and why our Gold Program is the standard for success going into 2026. The Problem with "Big Box" Marketing We have all seen the ads for those massive marketing technology companies. They dazzle you with proprietary software and fancy dashboards. But here is the dirty little secret they don't tell you: Software doesn't sell services. Strategy does. When you sign on with a giant agency, you often get a “set it and forget it” campaign. They turn on the ads, build a template website, and walk away. Unlike these big box agencies that rely on generic solutions, BSMG brings digital marketing expertise and technical expertise to every project, ensuring your video marketing is both strategically driven and technically optimized for each platform. But Google changes its algorithm thousands of times a year. If your marketing team isn't agile enough to pivot when Google updates its “Helpful Content” system or changes how Map Pack rankings work, you are dead in the water. At Business Solutions Marketing Group, we don't believe in templates. We believe in custom engineering. Why We Are Different: The "Solutions" Approach We named our company “Business Solutions” for a reason. We aren't just selling “SEO” or “Social Media.” We are solving the problem of obscurity. In 2026, obscurity is the enemy. If customers can't find you on Google, don't see you on Instagram, and can't watch a video of you on YouTube, you don't exist to them. Our approach is holistic. We don't silo your marketing; we integrate it. Our expertise in social media marketing and content creation ensures your brand is visible and engaging across all platforms, using strategic, data-driven methods tailored to each channel. Here is why our clients stay with us for years, not just months: 1. We Prioritize "Search Everywhere" Most agencies are still obsessed with just Google Search. While Google is king, 53% of website traffic comes from organic search, but the start of the buyer's journey is changing. People search on TikTok. They search on Instagram Maps. They search on YouTube. Our Gold Program covers all of this. We don't just optimize your website; we optimize your brand footprint across the entire internet. We ensure you are discoverable whether a user is typing on a keyboard or speaking into their phone. To maximize your reach, we help you stay active on multiple social platforms and strategically post video content tailored to each channel. 2. We Build Trust, Not Just Traffic Traffic is a vanity metric. Revenue is a sanity metric. You can have 10,000 visitors, but if they don't trust you, they won't call you. According to Edelman's Trust Barometer, 81% of consumers must trust the brand to do what is right before they will buy. How do we build trust? Through authentic content and video. Our strategies involve putting you front and center. We help you create content that showcases your expertise—real “war stories” from your business, not AI-generated fluff. Producing compelling content and maintaining quality in every video are essential to building trust with potential clients. When a potential client sees a video of you explaining a complex problem, trust is built instantly. Big agencies rarely offer this level of personalized content direction because ...

    Jan 7 2026

    Does Video Get You CASES or Just "Likes"? The Answer Will Surprise You! Are you still thinking video marketing is just a vanity project? Think again! In 2026, video isn't just about brand awareness; it's the #1 tool for generating actual, paying CASES. Why? Because text is cold, but video is trust. I'm Linda from Business Solutions Marketing Group, and here's a stat that changed everything for my clients: Viewers retain 95% of a message when they watch it in a video, compared to only 10% when reading text. That's the difference between a lead scrolling past you and a lead picking up the phone! Our "Omni-Present" strategy doesn't just post a video and hope for the best. We blast your content to: ✅ Google Business Listings (Boosting local SEO!) ✅ YouTube (The 2nd biggest search engine!) ✅ All Social Channels (TikTok, IG, FB) Stop letting your competitors get the calls because they aren't afraid of the camera. Video is the ultimate trust-builder and conversion engine. Ready to see the ROI? Read our full breakdown on why video is a MUST-HAVE for small businesses.

  • Episode 196 | Unlocking the Power of Video Content Marketing Services

    Episode 196 | Unlocking the Power of Video Content Marketing Services
    Jan 7 2026
    The Invisible Code That Makes Your Blog Posts Impossible to Ignore (And Why Video is Your Secret Weapon) Here is a statistic that keeps me up at night, and it should probably worry you too. according to a massive study by Ahrefs, 90.63% of all content gets zero traffic from Google. Zero. Think about the hours you spent writing that update about your new service, or the guide on how to maintain your product. You poured your coffee, you poured your heart into it, you hit publish, and… crickets. It's frustrating. I've been helping small businesses market themselves for over a decade, and I see this heartbreak all the time. Business owners tell me, "Linda, blogging doesn't work." I'm here to tell you that blogging does work, but the rules have changed. You can't just write 500 words, slap a stock photo on top, and expect the phone to ring. That is 2015 thinking. Today, if you want to rank, you need to speak Google's language fluently, and you need to cater to the short attention span of the modern human. That means combining high-quality writing with two specific secret weapons: Schema Markup and Video. Let's dig into how you can be part of the 9% that actually gets seen. Why Your "Good" Content Isn't Ranking First, let's look at the landscape. Google is getting smarter, but it is also getting overwhelmed. There are millions of blog posts published every single day. To cut through that noise, you have to do more than just use keywords. You have to provide context. When a search engine bot crawls your website, it reads the text, but it doesn't "understand" it the way you and I do. It sees strings of words. It guesses the context based on patterns. If you don't give Google a roadmap, it might get lost. This is where most small businesses fail. They write for humans (which is good!) but ignore the robot that delivers the content to those humans. The Secret Sauce: What is Schema Markup? This sounds technical, but stick with me. I promise to keep this jargon-free. Imagine you are at a crowded networking event. You hand someone a business card. That card has your name, your title, and your phone number in specific spots. The person knows exactly how to contact you because the information is structured. Schema markup is that business card for your blog post. It is a snippet of code (invisible to your human readers) that tells Google exactly what it is looking at. It says, "Hey Google! This isn't just a random page. This is a BlogPosting. The Author is Linda. The Headline is this. The Video is about that." Why Should You Care? Because clarity equals rankings. When you use Schema, you are spoon-feeding Google. In return, Google often rewards you with "Rich Snippets." You know when you search for a recipe and see the star rating, the cooking time, and a photo right there in the search results? That is Schema at work. According to a study by Milestone Research, users interact with rich results (powered by Schema) 58% more often than standard search links. That is a massive jump in engagement just for adding a little bit of code! Actionable Tip: You don't need to be a coder to do this. If you use WordPress, plugins like RankMath or Yoast SEO can generate Schema for you automatically. If you aren't using these tools, you are driving a car with the parking brake on. The Engagement Engine: Why You Need Video Okay, so Schema helps the robot find you. But how do you keep the human interested? People are busy. They are skimming. They want answers fast. Adding a video to your blog post is like adding a turbocharger to your engine. It changes everything. I recently worked with a client who runs a landscaping business. We wrote a great article about "Winterizing your Sprinkler System." It was good. But then, we took his iPhone, filmed him standing in a yard for two minutes actually showing how to turn the valve, and embedded that video at the top of the blog. Traffic tripled. Time on page went from 45 seconds to over three minutes. The SEO Benefits of Video Google loves "Dwell Time." This is the amount of time a user spends on your page before clicking back. If someone clicks your link and stays for three minutes to watch a video, Google thinks, "Wow, this content must be amazing!" and pushes you up the rankings. Plus, video captures the "Lazy Searcher." Some people will never read 2,000 words. But they will watch a 90-second clip. By having both, you serve everyone. Here is a staggering stat: Blog posts with video attract 3 times more inbound links than blog posts without video. (Source: Moz) Links are the currency of the internet. If people link to you, you win. The Blueprint: How to execute this Strategy So, how do we put this all together into a workflow that doesn't take you ten hours? Here is the process we use at Business Solutions Marketing Group. 1. Write for the "Helpful Content" Update Google's latest updates focus on "Helpful Content." Don't write for the algorithm; write for your customer. Answer their specific ...
