If your business relies on local search, there’s something important happening inside Google.

After my post about how people are shifting from Google to AI tools to search for information, I wanted to share something just as important that’s happening inside Google itself. Google has rolled out major core and spam updates, and this time it’s not just a small tweak. It’s a change in how people search. Google Maps is becoming more of an answer engine.

People are asking more specific questions now. Things like “Where can I find a cafe that allows me to work from” or “Who is the best plumber for urgent roof repairs near me.” And instead of showing a long list, Google is choosing a few businesses it thinks are the best match.This is why some businesses are seeing drops in visibility. AI is acting like a gatekeeper and only surfacing the businesses that look active, trustworthy and relevant right now.

Google is looking at things like how recently your profile was updated, the quality of your reviews, how detailed your information is, the photos you upload and whether your content actually answers what people are asking. If your Google Business Profile has been sitting untouched for months, it’s less likely to be recommended.

The good news is you don’t need to overhaul everything. Small, consistent updates make a real difference. Add new photos. Update your services. Make your descriptions clearer. Respond to reviews in a way that sounds like you. Search for your business the way your customers would and see what Google shows.

The bigger shift is in how people make decisions. They’re not scrolling through endless lists anymore. They’re asking better questions and expecting better answers. Your business needs to show up as the answer, not just an option.

And this connects directly to what I said in my LinkedIn post (https://lnkd.in/gEaHaaiT). AI is shaping how people find and choose businesses, whether they’re using Google Maps or tools like ChatGPT. Your website and your Google Business Profile both need to be clear, current and easy to understand.

It’s not about doing more. It’s about showing up better and making sure your website actually explains what you do in a way people understand. The way people find information is changing fast, and your website is the next step after someone discovers your business through Google Maps or even tools like ChatGPT.

This is why keeping your website up to date matters. Both the front end, which your customers see, and the back end, which keeps everything running smoothly behind the scenes.

Most people don't think about their website until something breaks.

The problem is that hackers know this.

An outdated WordPress site is one of the easiest targets because it often has known security vulnerabilities. Once a weakness becomes public, attackers don't usually go looking for one specific business. They use automated bots that scan thousands of websites every day looking for sites running old versions of WordPress, plugins, or themes.

It doesn't matter if you're a small business. It doesn't matter if your website only gets a few visitors a day.

If your site has a known vulnerability, it can still be found.

One outdated plugin can be enough to give someone access to your website. From there they might inject spam, redirect visitors to another site, steal information, or simply take your website offline.

I've spoken to business owners who assumed their website was being looked after because it was built a few years ago. Unfortunately, building a website and maintaining it are two different things.

Regular maintenance is not just about clicking the update button. Before updates are applied, backups should be taken. Updates should be tested, security monitored, and the site checked afterwards to make sure everything is still working properly.

It is a bit like servicing your car. Skip a service or two and you might get away with it. Leave it long enough and the chances of something going wrong increase.

If you haven't checked your WordPress website in a while, it might be worth taking a look. A few minutes of maintenance today can save a lot of stress later.

I’ve just wrapped up a full website refresh for Restore Your Mind Hypnotherapy, and this one was such a good reminder of how powerful clarity can be. I didn’t just redesign the site, I rebuilt the entire message for each page.

Every piece of written content was reworked using AEO, GEO and SEO principles, making sure the language actually matches how people search for help, how they speak about their struggles, and what they need to feel understood.

The biggest focus was honing in on exactly what the business offers and making sure that comes through instantly. Too many websites make people work hard to figure out what you do. This one now guides visitors through each section with purpose, clarity and calm, so they know who it’s for, how it helps, and what to do next.

I paired the new content with fresh layouts and a clean, grounded design that reflects the nature of the practice — supportive, warm and easy to navigate.

Can you help my daughter? Are you a Nutritionist or Naturopath? My daughter is looking for some placement hours to finish her Batchelor and is struggling to get help.

She understands it is valuable time that someone needs to give but even a couple of hours will help her achieve her pass.

Without it she can not get a pass so I thought I would reach out to my Facebook ommunity. Looking for someone located Melbourne to Southeastern suburbs.

She would be most grateful for any mentoring or clinic time that you can provide.

Thanks in advance 😊

Over the past year, something subtle but massive has been happening in the way people search for information.

More and more, they’re skipping Google altogether and heading straight to tools like ChatGPT, Copilot and Gemini. Not for fun, not for novelty, but because these tools give them something Google can’t: a direct, conversational answer without the noise.

And here’s the part most businesses haven’t caught up with yet.
If people are searching inside AI tools, then your website needs to be written in a way that AI can actually understand and use.

That’s where AEO (Answer Engine Optimisation) comes in.
It’s no longer enough to rank on Google. Your content now needs to be structured so AI can pull it into answers, summaries and recommendations.

Because when someone asks:

“Who offers this service near me”

“What’s the best option for…”

“How do I fix…”

AI tools decide which businesses appear in those responses.
Not based on ads.
Not based on backlinks.
But based on clarity, structure and trust signals in your content.

We’re entering a new era where your visibility depends on how well AI can interpret your website.

If your content isn’t AEO‑ready, you’re invisible in the places people are now searching first.

The businesses who adapt early will be the ones who stay discoverable.

And yes… this is exactly why I wrote this post
I’m now offering AEO, SEO and GEO optimisation services to help businesses show up in AI search results — not just Google. If you want your website to be understood, trusted and surfaced by tools like ChatGPT, Copilot and Gemini, get in touch.

Some days, running a business feels like watering a plant. You cannot just do it once and hope it thrives. It needs small, steady moments of care. That is how I think about keeping a Google Business Profile fresh. Every time you share a little update, a behind the scenes moment, a new service, a reminder, or something you are excited about, it feels like giving your business a quick drink of sunlight. People discover you in these tiny moments. A parent scrolling during a quiet cup of tea. Someone searching for help late at night. A local who did not even know you existed until your post appeared. So here is your gentle nudge. Keep your profile alive. Share what is happening. Celebrate the small wins. Tell people what is new, what is coming, or what you are working on. Those little updates build trust long before someone ever clicks Contact. Just like that plant on the windowsill, your visibility grows one small post at a time.

Thinking about a website but not sure where to start? A one page website could be the answer. I see so many businesses in the early stages of building their online presence. They’re refining their services, shaping their message or simply getting things moving. And often they think they need a full multi‑page website before they’re “ready”.

But the truth is, a one page website can be one of the smartest ways to get started. A lot of businesses begin with a clear service, a strong purpose and a need to look professional online, even if they don’t have pages and pages of content yet. A one page site gives them exactly that plus it can fit in with start up budgets alot easier. Everything a customer needs sits in one smooth, simple scroll. Who you are, what you offer, why people choose you and how to get in touch.

No pressure to fill extra pages. No overwhelm. Just a clean, focused online presence that feels polished and intentional. What surprises many people is how effective a one page site can be. It loads quickly, it’s easy to navigate and when structured properly it still supports SEO, AEO and GEO.

It’s designed to guide visitors clearly and convert them without distraction.
And when it’s built on the right platform, it becomes a foundation you can grow from. As your business evolves, you can add new pages, expand your services and build out the site without starting again.

A one page website isn’t a shortcut. It’s a smart first step. A way to get online confidently, professionally and affordably while giving yourself room to grow at your own pace. Sometimes simple is exactly what your business needs to move forward.

I have included some examples of this that I did for The Kind Nest Collective and Mini Milestone. A one page website which can flow with sections including menu items navigating to each section.

Businesses don't have to miss out on an online presence when content is minimal. It just needs to be created with intention!
