I was just dropping off a delivery near the industrial estate when I caught up with one of the local legends. 🚕

Terry says, 'What many folks don't realize is that Google is a bit like a garden: if you don't water it for 30 days, things start to wither. That inactivity penalty is real, and it can push your business right off the front page!' 📉

But here is the trick Terry's been using. He’s out here at the warehouse gates today giving a massive shoutout to our local suppliers. Shaking hands and sharing the love online isn't just being neighborly: it sends powerful community signals to Google that you are active, relevant, and connected. 🤝✨

'A quick partner shoutout is a game changer,' Terry reckons. 'It keeps your profile fresh and shows the neighborhood you’re the go-to choice.'

What Terry does not know... is not worth knowing. Don't let your Google Business Profile go cold. Whether it's a shoutout or a quick update, keep those signals moving! 📈

'What Terry does not know... is not worth knowing.' 🚕

Ever had a customer call saying they can't find you? 🚕 Terry knows the feeling. Check your Google Street View! If the image is 5 years old or pointing at the back alley, use your GBP to request an update or upload a fresh 'Exterior' photo. Google loves it when you fix their maps!

Fixing your Street View isn't just about looks: it's about accuracy. Plus, keeping your profile updated helps you beat the 30-day inactivity penalty. If you don't keep things fresh, Google might think you're closed, and that's a one-way trip down the search rankings. Don't let a stale map or a quiet profile push you out of the race. Stay fresh, stay visible! 📈

Terry’s been doing the rounds today, and he stopped in at the local barbershop for a quick tidy-up. While in the chair, he noticed the owner looking a bit stressed about their Google ranking. 🚕

'Don't you worry,' Terry said, pointing at his phone. 'It’s Review Catch-Up Day!' ✂️

Most business owners think you only need to reply to the reviews that came in this morning. But Terry knows better. If you’ve got old, unanswered reviews sitting there from months ago, replying to them now is a game changer. It signals fresh activity to Google and helps you beat that 30-day inactivity penalty. It shows you’re engaged and your business is very much open for business!

As we always say, what Terry does not know... is not worth knowing. 🌟

Don't let your profile go cold. Go back and give those old customers a thank you today! It’s a simple way to keep your GBP active and showing up in local searches.

Terry’s taxi pulled up outside Sarah’s pet grooming salon today, and he couldn’t help but notice her online presence needed a little brush-up! 🚕✨

Sarah’s been so busy with the pups that she hasn’t updated her Google Business Profile in weeks. Terry popped in and told her, 'Sarah, love, what Terry does not know about keeping Google happy... is not worth knowing! You need to show Google you’re active before that 30-day penalty kicks in.'

He showed her how to add specific service tabs like ‘Cat Grooming’, ‘Nail Clipping’, and ‘Full Groom’. Not only does this help customers find exactly what they need, but it also sends a big ‘I’m here and open’ signal to Google. 📈

Keep your profile fresh and your books full. Adding specific services is a game changer for local gems like Sarah's. It makes it easier for your neighbors to book the right service straight away and keeps you ahead of the competition.
