These aren’t advanced tactics.
They’re basic optimizations that compound quietly over time.
Local SEO agencies keep these a secret to charge high monthly retainers.
Ignoring them doesn’t cause penalties.
It just lets competitors pass you slowly
In Local SEO the turtle always wins the race

Most Google Business Profiles aren’t broken.
They’re just unfinished.
The difference between “existing” and “winning” is usually:
1. Missing information that hurts your visibility
2. Boring actions you need to do daily
3. Small details no one revisits

What's your website speed?
In local SEO website speed is fundamental because speed
* is a ranking factor for Google (low speed is punished)
* improves user experience and converts visitors (people leave if the website has loading issues)

Some older posts about starter packs may appear in their feed. But I've read from different people, and I've seen myself a drop in new followers
I'm in 16 starter packs, and my guess is 800 from my 1.1k followers are because of that.
But since the starter pack hype is over, let's see how we can perform from now on.

The pivotal moment for the indie hacker community on Bluesky is now.
The huge period of growth is over.
If we want our community to stay, we have to hang in there, keep posting and engaging, and convince everyone else to join us 💪🏻
Even with X premium +, it's a similar story
Like and followed 🫡
🤣🤣🤣

Followers agree 100%... I'm curious about engagement.
It's better for many who use both.
Crazy yes, I'm considering stopping using it for that reason. You can safely write your journal on X. Nobody sees it anyway 🤷♂️ 🤪
How's your engagement here compared to X and other socials? 🤔
Same experience for me. With X, I barely get one like or reply now and then, here there's always something happening.
If we add the rate of new followers, things are so much in Bluesky favor, it's crazy!
To be clear, I mean replies, likes per 100 followers

Local SEO certification from Moz
I have just completed the local SEO certification from MOZ
I've been managing local businesses for years, so I'm not a newbie in the field.
But there still were some new things I've learned, how they teach to measure results or the way to audit the local business when starting.
From 50 questions from the final exam, I've answered correctly to 49. The threshold to pass is 80% (40 correct answers)
It's crazy to me a company like Moz doesn't have an account on Bluesky 🤯

I might get canceled for this, but:
Growing with starter packs is not the best, long term
People following 150 other people with a click of a button doesn't mean they are interested in you and your content, so they might engage less than someone who clicks a button to follow YOU!
We shall see!
