Local shopping has changed during the COVID-19 pandemic. Yes, there has been a spike in online shopping, specifically centered around Amazon. But it has also changed the way people shop locally.

It’s easy to get pulled into the trap of thinking of search engines like Google as nothing more than computer systems that you need to appease with your content. You start thinking exclusively about statistics and numbers: how many keywords to use, how to break them up, what the ideal word count looks like, where you should put your links, etc.

The content is designed to answer questions and engage readers. Getting the right message out, and keeping it on-brand, is the critical part of the process.
How many times have you searched for the same thing on Google? Odds are, you’ve done it a lot. Maybe you use Google to get the local news or weather and, rather than using an app or the related links, you just search “local weather” or “local news” every morning. Maybe you tend to shop for the same types of products, so you’re always browsing for them, and that means making the same searches.

The company doesn’t want to stop collecting this important information, but they have stopped doing it automatically. Instead, to get people to opt into the program, they’re giving every user the option and explaining what the storing process means and why it happens.
