So if you had an online business, you had to do SEO and optimize for search engines. Now, if you have a brick and mortar business you still have to keep the algorithms happy? Sounds like life becomes harder for some business owners.

We had a bizarre time as a brick and mortar being even allowed to be on Google Maps. We had to take multiple pictures and videos of outside of our business with our sign, and then schedule a call with someone not in our country (or didn't speak mandarin anyway), then show them in a video call our outside of the restaurant, us locking and unlocking the door of our restaurant, us opening our cash drawer, then showing receipts, then our back storage room. It was super uncanny.
