Who do you trust more, google or your best friend?
Yes, that was a rhetorical question. You’re going to trust your friend. When I want a restaurant recommendation in NYC I always call my best friend Jules who works in the industry. If I’m traveling to Chicago for a weekend I post on Facebook to crowd source for recommendations from people I trust. It’s not because I can’t find the information for the best restaurants on Google. It’s because I want endorsements. I don’t want to waste my time with a place that could be on google just because of great SEO. I want word-of-mouth.
