I think we’re at the beginning of a pretty big shift for small businesses.

More customers are starting to ask AI tools who to hire before they ever visit Google.

I’ve been watching how different businesses appear in ChatGPT responses and the patterns are fascinating.

It’s less about “who has the fanciest website” and more about overall trust and authority across the web.

Curious if anyone here has tested whether their business shows up in AI tools yet?

Who's going to the Small Business Expo this week in DC?

I attended last year and found it incredibly valuable for making connections. I'm looking forward to this year's event too!

What are you hoping to gain from attending? What do you do to keep new contacts fresh and deepen connections?

Hi DC neighbors!

I'm Monica, and I've been exploring how AI like ChatGPT and other systems are changing the way customers find local businesses. It's fascinating to see that a significant portion of searches are moving away from traditional engines like Google.

Have any of you noticed shifts in how customers discover your services lately? How are you adapting to these changes?

Would love to hear your thoughts and experiences!

Monica
