🔑 Key Points

• 
  

  Backlinks are referrals — quality beats quantity every time.

  
  


• 
  

  Local SEO wins faster than global: one strong backlink from a venue or supplier can outrank 500 spammy ones.

  
  


• 
  

  Google rewards clarity — simple sites with clear calls-to-action rank higher (and convert more).

  
  


• 
  

  AI overviews are here to stay; building trust signals (reviews, backlinks, citations) gets you into them.

  
  


• 
  

  Your website is your best employee — it should be simple, fast, and focused on conversions, not aesthetics.
