If you are a small business owner currently stuck on the 2nd page of search results or wondering why your company is not generating the phone call volume that you would like, here is a quick tip that will help you uncover exactly how search engines view your business online, what pages they are including in search rankings, and what SEO Keywords you are currently using.

The tip is something we dubbed the site colon trick. And all it requires is you copying your website’s domain, going over to google and typing in site: and then entering your domain with no spaces.

From here you are going to see all of the SEO Keywords that Google and other search engines are including in their search rankings and its a great way to see what SEO keywords you currently have in place, what pages are indexed and which pages are missing, and just get a better sense as to how search engines view your site.

The best part is that this is a trick that you can also use to spy on your competitors as well.

Google Gemini pulls from Google's own search results so if you're not optimized inside Google, you're invisible to it. 👇

Here's what Gemini actually looks at for local businesses:

✅ A fully optimized Google Business Profile
✅ Consistent citations across major local directories
✅ A YouTube presence (yes Gemini pulls video content)

Most contractors nail one or two of these and wonder why they're not
showing up. It takes all three working together.

We help home service contractors get found across every AI search
platform including Gemini. 📍

f your Google Business Profile isn't optimized with the right SEO keywords, you could be missing out on customers who are actively searching for the products and services you offer.

Your Google Business Profile is often the first impression someone has of your business. It's where people compare companies, read reviews, find answers to their questions, and decide who to contact. Yet it's one of the most overlooked opportunities for improving local SEO.

Here are six of the most important places your SEO keywords should appear:

Primary and Secondary Business Categories
Service Descriptions
Product Descriptions
Business Description (especially the first half)
Questions & Answers
Google Posts

Optimizing these sections helps Google better understand what your business does and increases your chances of appearing when potential customers are searching for your services.

Need help getting more out of your Google Business Profile? Reach out to the team at MarketKeep. We'd be happy to help.

Perplexity AI is pulling answers from small business websites right now, but only the ones built a specific way. 👇

If you want to show up, your pages need:

✅ Clear, direct answers (no fluff)
✅ FAQ sections on your service pages
✅ 3rd party citations backing up your credibility

Perplexity treats your page like a reference source. If it has to dig for the answer it skips you. That is why we recommend putting your answers at the top half of your website pages and building out your content in a structured way that works well for both organic search results as well as AI Search.

We build service pages that AI search platforms actually trust. 💡

ChatGPT Search is recommending local businesses.... just probably not yours
yet. Here's why. 👇

ChatGPT cross-references your website against the rest of the internet.
It's looking for:

✅ High-authority website content that proves your expertise
✅ Strong reviews on Google and Yelp
✅ Mentions in industry blogs and local press

If your website makes claims your online presence doesn't back up ChatGPT won't recommend you. A lot of websites can now talk the talk thanks to AI content writing, but they cannot walk the walk. You still need to demonstrate that you are capable or doing what your website talks about.

We help home service contractors build the full digital presence AI
platforms trust. 💡

Before you write your next blog article, ask yourself these five questions.

1. Does the keyword actually exist as a search query?
2. Who is actually searching for this topic?
3. Does this article have the potential to attract its own traffic, or does it only exist to support the rest of your website?
4. Is the search intent different from the pages and blog articles you already have?
5. Does the title match how your audience thinks, while the URL (slug) targets how they actually search?

These five questions can save you hours of writing content that never gets found.

The best blog articles are not the ones you *want* to write. They're the ones your audience is actively searching for and that search engines and AI platforms can confidently recommend.

Whether someone is searching in Google, ChatGPT, Perplexity, or Gemini, choosing the right topic is often more important than writing a longer article.

Spend less time creating content that goes nowhere and more time publishing articles that have real traffic potential.

Google has changed the way customers leave reviews!

And this is a change that I think we are really excited about here over at MarketKeep. Google is beginning to add more context to reviews by asking customers questions about their experience, including things like pricing, value, and other details that help future customers make more informed decisions.

Why does this matter?

⭐ More detailed reviews build trust.
⭐ Better reviews help businesses stand out.
⭐ Customers get more information before making a buying decision.

For home service businesses, contractors, and local businesses, this means your reputation isn't just about collecting 5-star reviews anymore. It's about showcasing the complete customer experience.

The businesses that consistently deliver great service, communicate clearly, and provide value are likely to benefit the most from these changes.
