Paid advertising are feeling less hands-on than they used to, that is by design. Five big changes have rolled out all in roughly eight weeks.

1. Dynamic Search Ads are being retired.
2. Display campaigns are moving into Demand Gen, with less control over where your ads appear.
3. Microsoft is removing maximum cost-per-click limits from new campaigns using standalone bidding, starting October 1.
4. Meta removed manual placement exclusions, replacing them with bid adjustments.
5. Local Services Ads is moving into Google Ads as an automated campaign type, eliminating manual cost-per-lead bidding.

What does this mean for your business? The levers are moving out of campaign settings and into what we feed the system. What counts as a conversion, how well your landing page converts, and whether real job outcomes make it back to the platform now matter more than any setting in the account. That is where our work has shifted, too.

Google Search Console isn't just for websites anymore.

With new Platform properties, GSC now connects social content to search demand, giving marketers first-party data on query performance, content gaps, and creator partnerships.

Starting October 1, a missed call can cost you twice.

If someone calls your business during posted hours and stays on the line past roughly 20 seconds without reaching anyone, Google bills you for that call. Follow-up calls with the same customer can be charged as well.

Until now, a missed call simply cost you the job. Now it costs you the job and the lead fee. If your answering service, call routing, or after-hours coverage has changed recently, or is about to, this is worth a conversation before the change takes effect.

Everyone's asking us the same question right now: should we be running ads in ChatGPT?

Our team has campaigns running now, and while it's too early for us to talk results, four things are already clear.

1. Ads only serve to adults on ChatGPT's Free and Go tiers. If your buyer is a paying Plus or Business user, they will never see you.

2. There's no keyword targeting. You write "context hints," a plain-language description of the conversations where your product belongs, and OpenAI matches from there.

3. Minimum daily budget is $25. CPCs are running roughly $2 to $5.

4. Reporting is thin. You can't see what conversations triggered your ad, and geo results only break out by country.

Meta Ads is becoming more automated, and Advantage+ is at the center of that shift.

Advantage+ has gone from an optional feature to a core part of the platform. Meta now heavily promotes Advantage+ audiences, automated placements, and other AI-powered tools throughout the campaign creation process, making it more difficult to maintain the same level of manual control advertisers once had.

For businesses, this means the approach to paid social is changing. Success is becoming less about manually managing settings and more about providing the platform with strong creative, accurate tracking, and the right strategy.

Have you noticed your website’s favicon replaced by a generic blue globe in Google Search results over the past week? You aren’t alone. 🌐

A widespread Google Search bug caused custom favicons to disappear in recent weeks. Google's VP of Engineering for Search confirmed his team has identified the issue and is working on a fix.

Yelp and OpenAI have struck a deal to bring real-time local business info directly into ChatGPT. When users ask ChatGPT for local recommendations, the AI assistant can now pull in Yelp’s reviews, star ratings, photos, and listing details.

For local businesses, keeping Yelp profiles updated and managing reviews is officially becoming just as important for AI discovery as traditional SEO! When was the last time you audited your Yelp profile?

One of the biggest shifts in paid social is happening behind the scenes with Meta's Project Andromeda.

By defaulting campaigns to the Advantage+ system, Meta is now deciding where ads appear, how budgets are allocated, and which placements receive more attention across Facebook, Instagram, Reels, and Stories.

While this change can create opportunities for better performance, it also means businesses have less visibility into the decisions happening behind their campaigns.

Lead quality matters.

Meta has introduced Text Verification for Instant Forms, allowing users to confirm their phone number before submitting a lead.

The result? Fewer fake or mistyped numbers, cleaner data, and more time spent following up with real opportunities!
