Did you know 44% of adults are now using ChatGPT?

The truth is, AI chatbots are becoming the norm for the way people search online. That means there's a good chance locals are using AI to search for services you offer, and you might not be showing up (but your competitors are).

Google has a free website grading tool called PageSpeed Insights that checks how good your website is set up. They recently added a new grade to that report card called "Agentic Browsing," which checks whether AI tools can actually use your website properly. Can they tell what your buttons do and find the right information?

Try running your website through PageSpeed Insights and look for the new metric. How does your website hold up? The good news is, if you don't pass, the fixes are usually pretty easy to implement and I'm here to help answer any questions!

Buzz Business

Fly Dance Mt Juliet - Will soon be located at Legacy Pointe Blvd across from Costco. Until then - the fun will be held at Rockstar Academy of Dance 💃

XPE Nashville - 📍335B Industrial Dr., Mt Juliet | Open House, Sunday, July 12 | 2-5PM

Slow Down!

As construction takes place on Old Lebanon Dirt Rd, the speed limit is temporarily being reduced from 35 - 25 between Moreland Dr and Chandler Rd, for the safety of the crew. Consider yourself warned!

🐝Business Spotlight

Meet UpSpending — a Mt. Juliet business started by a local mom and her two daughters with a simple idea: make it easier to support local businesses while having everyday essentials delivered right to your door.

Along with carrying products from local and regional makers, they’ve also created UPFILL ♻️ — a refillable line of household products that helps reduce plastic waste. When you’re finished with a container, just leave it out with your next delivery and they’ll refill it instead of replacing it.

Why people are loving it:
🏡 Family-owned right here in Mt. Juliet
🚚 Convenient delivery within 30 miles
🛍️ A growing selection of local and everyday essentials
♻️ Eco-friendly refillable household products
❤️ An easy way to support businesses in our own community

🎥 Check out this video for a further look at Upspending and the women behind the mission.

They’re also looking to partner with more local vendors, so if you make products here in Middle Tennessee and would like to reach more customers, they’d love to connect.

👉 Visit UpSpending.com to learn more, place an order, or explore becoming a vendor.
