Welcome to “Pirate’s Booty” – a curated stash of local marketing news and content for your reading pleasure.
What’s that? A mutli-billion dollar corporation is using even more AI? What a surprise!
Jokes aside, you know we’ve been talking about this for a while. And the writing is on the wall. If you’re not using AI, you’re going to get left behind.
To find out this new way Google is using AI, read this article:
Google Brings AI Trip-Finding To Google Flights
More about AI: This one about how ChatGPT-5 now connects to Gmail, Calendar, and Contacts.
Not only does this make ChatGPT more useful… it just shows you how love it or hate it, AI is creeping into all areas of our life.

If you don’t know your numbers, you’re flying blind.
Everyone says it — “know your numbers” — but most agencies have no clue if what they’re doing is actually working.
That's why on this week's Aloha Friday Local Marketing Coaching Call I covered:
“HighLevel Control Center: Master Dashboards & Email Tracking for Maximum Impact”
On this live group coaching call, I revealed how you can configure your HighLevel dashboards and track email performance directly inside your workflows.
Tune into the replay and you’ll see exactly which campaigns are winning, which are wasting time, and where to double down for bigger results.
No more guessing. No more “hope marketing.” Just clear, simple numbers that tell you exactly what’s working so you can do more of it — and drop what’s not.
The replay is up now and can be watched right here:

Before I let you go… Nick recently hit a HUGE milestone in his YouTube channel.
As he just surpassed 100,000 subscribers.
Woohoo and great job Nick! And thanks to everyone who’s subscribed over there.
