So most pet businesses are like, they're either ignoring AI, complaining about AI and I'm not even gonna go into that and I give that any life, okay? But I wanna talk to you who you feel like you're using it every day. Maybe you have it on your phone, you have it downloaded, you talk to it all the time, you feel like you're getting a lot from it. Harvard actually just came out with a study that people are actually more busy because of AI, because they're not, especially a chat GPT, which is one of the reasons why I kind of broke up with them. It's always like, well, here you go and I can do these other three things for you, which really doesn't help the ADHD brain. What that does is it helps keep you in the loop of in their ecosystem and feeling like you're doing so much, but you're not actually producing a lot. And there's a difference there. I want you to just be mindful of that. But there are things right now that AI can do that are free that you probably haven't considered. And so I wanna like, you peep those things to you today. They're not fancy, they're really practical, they're very straightforward, anyone can do these things. So before we get started, I really, really, really wanna say to you, please subscribe to the episode, please subscribe to Bella in Your Business, please share it with your friends if you find this is going to be a valuable episode for you. And I'm just sitting here at 7.30 in the morning. My child is getting ready and I am just talking to you guys and my I live for those comments those feedbacks the shares the DMS because that lets me know that what I'm hitting what I'm saying is hitting okay, and so I just if you like the show, please let me know All right, and and I'm also gonna probably save you a little bit of money today, too Which is also really cool. So the very first one and I want you guys to hear me out because you might be like, yeah. Yeah. No I'm going to show you how to uplevel this, okay? So let's talk about those Google reviews responses. I know some of you don't really even pay attention to your Google reviews and others are going for 55 star reviews, 105 star reviews, 505 star reviews. And let me just set the foundation and say, if you're not actively seeking Google reviews from your clients, you're missing out. The Google reviews are something that AI is going to be using as one of their many tickers on who they can trust. Okay. So the more reviews you have, the better it can be for your business . can't hurt you unless they're a bunch of one star reviews, I suppose. But let's just say now we're in the orbit of you got a five star review and most of the time people are like, thanks so much. We love taking care of buddy. You know, like, I know I need to respond. And that's what they do. That response is a potential for another, let's think about this, the Google My Business when you're posting updates, hopefully weekly. Yeah, another thing you gotta do. But something that's gonna really help you, okay? And this is AI could help you with it too. But you wanna make sure that your responses also have your keyboards in them, right? But what happens is we either find out, my gosh, there's some reviews. Bella, you're just reminding me now I gotta go in and see if there's any reviews I need to respond to, everyone always likes to be responded to. Especially the faster you can respond, the better. It just shows that you're an active business owner. Right? Or sometimes even worse, people don't respond at all because they didn't have the time, they didn't know what to say. Right? Or the negative reviews. I mean, that just cuts you to the core. Right? If someone doesn't give you five stars, maybe they give you three or four. You're like, what the what? Right? And it's haunting you and you're kind of scared to say the wrong thing back. So you just kind of let it sit there and be like, don't address it. Nobody knows. You stick your head in the sand like a flamingo, right? Well, what AI does do, it can write a very personalized response to every single review and you can instruct it to have the pet's name, the reference of the service. So even if you might call it like an adventure, you want to call it a pet sit in this comment back or a dog walk because that's what people are gonna be searching for on the internet not your cute name, all right and You want to respond to every single review? We all we all know that by now, right? We can agree on that and then you want to mention the pets name Reference this service and match the energy of the review. So if someone comes in like my god, you're absolute best like my gosh, you're the best too, but if someone is like hey, you did a really great job, thanks so much. You're like, my God, you're the best. We wanna match the response, okay? It's free and it takes about two minutes per review. And now Google rewards businesses that responds to reviews. So every single one of your reviews right now, go check. You need to make sure they're all responded to. It will help with your SEO. You will show up higher in searches and potential clients will read your responses. And even when it's a negative review, it shows how you show up in adverse times. Okay, is this a business that I wanna do business with? Because they handled a icky situation very respectfully and heard the person and just really addressed them, right? They were seen and heard. Or were they a-holes? And were just like, you have to remember that every negative review, you're actually not responding to them, you're responding to everyone who's ever gonna see it for years to come. Okay, just something to think about. And sometimes that does happen because we're not perfect or our team isn't perfect. I have a prompt and I have a prompt for every single one of these and I'm gonna drop them inside the community to reward them because what we do here is we tell you what you should be doing and then we break down the how inside the community.
