How to Get More Google Reviews (2026)

Hand holding a smartphone showing a five-star rating bubble and a message icon on a clean background.

Getting more Google reviews comes down to asking. Most businesses either never ask, or they ask once, get ignored, and stop. A repeatable ask, at the right moment and with the right setup, is what separates businesses with 10 reviews from businesses with 200. At TJ Digital, we work with over 40 small and medium-sized […]

You don’t have to choose between Google Ads and SEO. They target different users, and running both doesn’t mean you’re competing with yourself. At TJ Digital, we manage both channels for small and medium businesses, and across 15 years and hundreds of campaigns, I’ve seen brands that combine paid and organic search consistently outperform those […]

Google is evolving from a search engine into an AI agent manager. When someone searches, Google will spin up agents to complete tasks on their behalf. Those agents will book flights, collect quotes, and check inventory. The businesses they select will be the ones with structured data, accurate pricing, and machine-readable page content. At TJ […]

Google just released their March 2026 Spam Update, and it targeted low-quality AI-generated content. At TJ Digital, where we manage AI-driven content strategies for roughly 40 to 50 websites, not a single client was hit. A handful actually saw traffic increases, likely because competitors got penalized. That result wasn’t luck. It was the direct outcome […]

Ranking in AI search is trivial. If your page is indexed and reasonably relevant to the query, it will show up in the result set. The hard part is getting cited, and even harder still, getting your brand recommended to the user. At TJ Digital, we’ve been tracking over 1,500 prompts across 30 industries specifically […]

Minimal illustration of a robot and a person reviewing a checklist on a clipboard on a light background.

AI alone is not enough for SEO strategy. AI-generated plans consistently waste resources on low-impact tasks like schema markup, vanity keywords, and micro-optimizations while missing the strategic priorities that actually drive traffic and leads. The best results come from pairing AI’s speed with a human expert’s judgment, an approach sometimes called the “centaur” model. At […]

For most websites, publishing too much content is not the problem. After 17 years in SEO, I can say with confidence that the far more common issue is publishing too little, or publishing content that doesn’t target what people are actually searching for. At TJ Digital, we’ve helped dozens of small and medium-sized businesses build […]

The way customers find and vet businesses is changing fast. Within the next few years, a significant portion of buying decisions won’t start with a human typing into Google. They’ll start with an AI agent that already knows what the customer needs, what your competitors offer, and what your website says about you. At TJ […]

Minimal split-screen illustration with a traditional search bar and keyword tags on the left and an AI chat response with stacked result cards on the right.

Yes, keywords still matter for AI search. Despite widespread claims that AI systems have evolved beyond keyword matching, commercial intent queries in tools like ChatGPT and Gemini are still driven almost entirely by keyword-based searches in traditional search engines. At TJ Digital, we track AI search visibility for clients across multiple platforms, and the data […]
