“With Google Gemini and this generative AI, Google search is changing. Now more than ever, double down on reviews. Google doesn't just look at your old reviews, the review volume, and the content of those old reviews. They're looking at new reviews, new content, and the quality of those new reviews.” ~ Brynn Gibbs
