Quick follow-up from us, small business owners.

A few weeks back, we published a piece pushing back on the "AI optimisation" services being sold to Aussie SMBs. The response was great, but a few sharp readers raised a fair point: yes, GEO is overhyped, but the way customers find businesses really is changing.

They're right. So we've followed up with a more complete picture.

Five real shifts that ARE happening in AI search, and what your business should actually do about each. Things like how click-through patterns are shifting, why brand mentions across the web matter more than ever, and how buying journeys are now happening inside single AI conversations.

No jargon. No hype. Just straight answers on what's worth your attention.

Full read on the blog.

AI search is changing fast. Google's I/O 2026 announcements confirm it. Bill Vasiliadis breaks down five real shifts Australian SMBs need to act on.

Your website is your 24/7 salesperson. Is it doing its job?

All of your digital marketing efforts and investments drive traffic, whether through paid search, SEO, social media, or other channels.

But where does that traffic go?

If your website is slow, confusing, or doesn't have clear call to actions, you're pouring water into a leaky bucket.

Fix the bucket first.

Heads up, small business owners: if you've been pitched "AI optimisation" or "GEO" services recently and felt confused (or a bit ripped off), this is worth two minutes of your time.

Google just published its own official guide on how AI search works. The short version?

Most of what's being sold as "AI optimisation" is stuff Google says you can safely ignore. No special files. No rewriting your website "for AI." No chasing fake mentions on forums.

What actually works? The same things that have always worked. A website that's easy for Google to read. Honest, useful content written by someone who actually knows their stuff. A properly set-up Google Business Profile. Real photos of real work.

If you're an Aussie SMB owner who's been worried you're falling behind because you're "not doing AI SEO", relax. You're probably not behind. You just need to be doing the fundamentals well.

Full breakdown on the blog.

Google's new AI search guidelines reveal what really works (and what to ignore). Bill Vasiliadis breaks down what it means for Australian SMBs.

Repaying the trust small businesses place in us and helping them achieve real outcomes is exactly why we do what we do.

This recent feedback meant a lot:

We had been trying on our own for a year to get our Google business profile active. Our profile was being suspended due to the automated system and we could not figure out what we were doing wrong.

We had tried reaching out to a few companies for help but didn’t feel comfortable with any of them, until we found SEO for Small Business Australia.

Bill was patient and understanding with us and provided check ins whilst we were waiting for an update from Google.

It was such a relief knowing we had the team using their expertise to help us, as a small business, it can be hard at times to trust others and delegate and to decide what would be a good investment for our business.

We finally got our profile verified and active and we are so grateful that we found Bill and the team and that we did put our trust with them.

Thank you 🙂

Consistency beats brilliance.

We've seen businesses go quiet on social for months, then post a stunning campaign and wonder why it didn't land.

Algorithms reward regular activity.

One solid post per week outperforms a burst of great content followed by silence.

Consistency is key.

Reviews aren't just social proof; they're SEO.

Every Google review is a signal to search engines that your business is legitimate, active, and trusted.

After every good job, ask for a review.

Make it easy. Send a direct link.

Responding to reviews is just as important as it shows you care, you're engaged, and you value feedback. All signals Google loves.

This is one of the highest ROI things an SMB can do, and it costs nothing other than some of your time.

Stop chasing followers. Chase the right 100 people.

A following of 500 engaged prospects is worth more than 10,000 passive ones.

Post content that speaks directly to your ideal client, not content designed to go viral.

Relevance beats reach every time.

Your Google Business Profile is free real estate. Use it.

Most small business owners set up their Google Business Profile once and forget it.

But Google rewards profiles that are actively updated - new photos, posts, offers, FAQs.

Spend 20 minutes a week on yours and watch your local visibility climb.
