🚨 DOJ Wants to Break Up Google – What It Means for Local Businesses 🚨

The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) just filed a legal proposal outlining four major ways Google could be forced to break up after being found in violation of antitrust laws.

📢 Here’s What the DOJ is Proposing:

1️⃣ Sell or spin off Google Chrome
2️⃣ No more deals making Google the default search engine
3️⃣ Stop favoring Google-owned products in search results
4️⃣ Increase transparency in advertising & data practices

🤔 What This Means for Local Businesses

✅ If your marketing relies heavily on Google, this could shake things up
✅ SEO strategies might change as Google loses control over search results
✅ Google Ads and Local Service Ads could become less dominant

🔑 What You Should Do RIGHT NOW

✅ Stay informed – Changes won’t happen overnight, but your marketing team should be tracking this
✅ Diversify your strategy – Don’t rely solely on Google for leads
✅ Talk to your marketing team – If they aren’t preparing for the future, you need a new team

👉 This could be a game-changer for how local businesses market themselves online. Stay ahead of the curve!
