Klout scores. Eight years ago this week the service shut down. A 1-to-100 number that supposedly captured your social influence. Agencies pitched it, brands hired by it, and almost nobody misses it. One number was never going to tell you what actually drives a business. #PGHDMA #MarketingHistory

Myth: Boosting a Facebook post is the same as running an ad. It isn't. Boost is a stripped-down version of Meta Ads Manager. Limited targeting, fewer objectives, mostly optimized for engagement. The blue button is the easy path, not the effective one. #PGHDMA #PaidSocial

Myth: a 5.0 star average is the goal.
Reality: shoppers trust businesses in the 4.2 to 4.7 range more than perfect ones. Northwestern's Spiegel research found purchase likelihood peaks there, then drops above 4.7. Too clean reads as fake.

Most owners don't know this: competitors can bid on your business name in Google Ads. It's allowed. Search your name in incognito. If someone else's ad shows above your site, a small branded campaign fixes it, and branded clicks are usually the cheapest ones you'll buy. #PGHDMA #GoogleAds #PPC

Google's spam policies literally name keyword stuffing as spam. Repeating 'plumber Pittsburgh' 40 times sinks you, and real visitors bail before they call. Write pages humans can read. That's what ranks. #PGHDMA #SEO #LocalSEO
