In this episode, we'll unpack why building direct sales through SEO and website optimization, along with embracing paid advertising on platforms like Facebook, can be game-changing, despite being time-consuming. We'll also discuss the importance of feeding Google's business profile and the significance of robust content production for SEO and AI.

But the conversation doesn't stop there. We dive into the critical need for human-to-human partnerships to build resilient businesses, especially in light of Airbnb's controversial decision to remove a significant portion of their experiences inventory. Whether you're a tour operator or a small business owner, this episode offers valuable insights on navigating these uncertain times, from exploring untapped opportunities to fostering real, local partnerships. Plus, stay tuned for two exciting resources we're launching this week – a comprehensive technology and partner directory and a free guide on optimizing your Google presence.
