AI SEO. Zero-click search. Search Everywhere Optimisation.
If digital marketing feels confusing right now, you’re not alone.
At Make Me Local, we believe clarity drives growth, which is why we’ve created a Jargon Buster & FAQs Handbook to help business owners understand what actually matters (and what doesn’t).
Why Digital Marketing Feels More Confusing Than Ever
If you’re a service-based business owner, chances are you’ve heard terms like:
SEO, AI SEO, GEO
Zero-click search
Google AI Overviews
Search Everywhere Optimisation
Structured data
Authority signals
And thought: “I should probably understand this… but I’m not sure I do.”
You’re not alone.
Digital marketing has always had a jargon problem, but with the rapid rise of AI-powered search tools and platforms, it’s become even harder for business owners to separate what’s important from what’s just noise.
That confusion often leads to missed opportunities, poor decisions, or sticking with strategies that no longer deliver results.
How We Do Things Differently at Make Me Local
At Make Me Local, we don’t believe in hiding behind buzzwords.
As a growth partner, our job isn’t just to do the work, it’s to help you understand:
What’s happening
Why it matters
How it contributes to real business growth
That’s why we’ve always focused on:
Explaining things in simple, human language
Connecting marketing activity to leads, enquiries, and revenue
Cutting through hype and focusing on actual desired outcomes
This handbook is a natural extension of that philosophy.
