Lance Bachmann On Local Search Marketing & Getting New Customers

Published

In part one with Lance Bachmann, we spoke a lot about business, growing a business and his passion for his employees. In part two, we dig more into marketing. When it comes to local search he said most companies miss the mark by not focusing on Google Business Profiles and reviews.

When you look at a business listing on Google for a business, you need to make sure the photos for that business represent the business professionally. You also need to make sure your reviews say good things about the business. Using local ads for Google Maps is important.

He said he practices what he preaches, and his businesses do digital marketing, SEO, local SEO, social media, etc to drive business to his businesses.

He finds it sad that so many small businesses are not willing to spend money on their websites. You need to earn your business, you need to keep your business, and you need to get customers to trust you. Lance said it is very little about having the best prices, he isn’t doing business at the lowest price. He beats through the best products and customer services.

Lance said even with 600 customers, they still vet customers and turn customers away. Again, this comes from his passion for caring deeply about his employees.

It’s a hustle business, he said, like any business, his businesses are a hustle business. We spoke about what he means by hustle and what he means by that. He spends a ton of his time mostly on the higher level side, he is not in the day to day of operations for any of his companies.

Hanukkah (aka Chanukah) starts this coming Thursday night, December 7th. Google has added its Hanukkah decorations to the Google Search results interface to celebrate. Google does this every year and I expect to see the same rollout in the coming weeks for Christmas and Kawanzaa but for now, since Chanukah is in the coming days, we have the Hanukkah decorations live at Google Search.

Here is a screenshot of the Chanukah decorations as they look like on the mobile search results.

You can see it yourself by searching on Google for [chanukah], [hanukkah], but not yet [חֲנוּכָּה‎] or other spelling variations yet but it should soon. It looks better on mobile than it does on desktop results.

To see the past, the 2023 decorations, 2021 decorations, 2020 Chanukah decorations, 2019 Google holiday decorations, the 2018, 2017, 2016, 2015, 2014, 2013, 2012, 2011, 2010 and so on.

Happy Chanukah, everyone!

Google Pay Accepted Icons In Google Search Results

Google seems to be testing a Google Pay Accepted label or icon in the Google search results. This label has the super G logo followed by the words “Pay accepted” words next to search result snippets that support Google Pay and notate such in their structured data.

This was first spotted by Khushal Bherwani who shared some screenshots of this on X – here is one:

Brodie Clark also posted some screenshots after on X:

In continuation from the test from October, Google is now testing out a new Google Pay label associated with organic results. Last month, Google was testing Pay Accepted text, with this month changing it to Pay encrypted checkout. More details: https://t.co/MvFNoPmMDR pic.twitter.com/WDVVc4RbTO

I tried to replicate this but I came up short.

This is not the first time Google had similar icons like this in its search results.

Google Discover Showing Older Content Since Follow Feature Arrived

Typically, Google Discover shows content that is less than a day old, but it can show content that is weeks, months, or even years old. However, typically, Google will show more recent content in the Discover feed. Well, that may have changed with the new Google follow feature.

Glenn Gabe, who is a very active Google Discover user, noticed that since the Follow feature rolled out, he has been seeing content that is weeks and months old way more often than before the follow feature rolled out. Glenn wrote on X that “this could also be playing a role. i.e. Google isn’t providing as much recent content, but instead, focusing on providing targeted content based on the topics you are following.”

It makes sense that if you follow a specific topic and if Google Discover only shows the most authoritative types of content, it might be hard for Google to find new content on that topic. So it does make sense that Google may show older content more often for that specific topic you follow.

Here are screenshots Glenn shared:
