In this promotional video, Greg Tresler introduces the Local Guide Marketing Academy, a training program for local business and home‑services marketers. He explains that after six years of success, the tactics that worked three years ago no longer rank, and marketers must adapt to a new landscape driven by AI, trust signals, and local signals on Google Business Profiles and social media. Tresler argues that AI agents now allow anyone to operate at a world‑class level, automating menial tasks and even handling coding, which lets solo marketers compete with large private‑equity‑backed competitors. The Academy promises to teach the specific hacks and tricks needed to master these new tactics, eliminate reliance on agencies, and future‑proof marketing efforts. He shares his personal background (from Berryville, Arkansas, class of ’88) and invites viewers to join webinars, the community, and the Academy to take their marketing to the next level.

Hey, this channel is for the Local Guide Marketing Academy. We just had our first Webinar Wednesday, The Last Google Strategy You'll Ever Need. I've been doing local business marketing, home services mostly, for 6 years now. Had a lot of success, but what worked 3 years ago has no shot now. You have to change your tactics and you have to be aware. But it's never been a better time to get dialed in on your marketing because AI makes everything so possible. You can be at a world-class level with your marketing. You can compete against big private equity companies with billions of dollars buying up your competition. You can compete with them with these tactics because it's all things they, they won't do, but they're the things that will rank you. Trust signals, local signals. So that's what the Academy is about, is learning the hacks and the tricks that you need for your local business marketing with your Google Business Profile and your social media, where you're never going to need to hire an agency again, unless of course you know what work needs to be done and you'd rather just pay them to do it. But no more throwing money at agencies, not knowing what you're going to get. Now you know what you're going to get, you know what to expect, and it all happens in the Local Guide Marketing Academy, where we go into this stuff and then we go into the future. I've been working with AI and building agents that go and do things for me this entire time. My life is becoming more and more simple where I can think bigger, bigger things because my AI agents go and do the menial tasks that I don't want to do. That's why I say anybody can be a world-class marketer now, because to be able to program and to code, you only need to be able to speak AI is the best coder in the world. Speak to the AI, it will do all the coding and it will make the thing for you. I know I've probably already lost you. I'm talking about coding. You're not. I'm from Berryville, Arkansas. I graduated 12th in the class of '88. I'm from BFE nowhere. I figured all this stuff out. It's easy if you understand, and that's why I formed this. Come join me. Join me on a webinar sometime. Join my community. Join my, uh, my little school. And, um, let's take this to the next level. You know you need to, you know, and I'm going to show you the easy ways to do it.
