Perhaps I'm the odd one out here but If your client says "I can send you the stems"...you know exactly what they mean. Do you think they're saying it to piss you off? And if you really are unsure if they actually mean multi-tracks, it takes all of 2 seconds to clarify AND gives you a chance to educate about the difference, if you so wish.

"Can we stop calling multi tracks stems???"

When I see these comments it feels like the person saying them has only just themselves learned about the difference. It's comical.

Yes, there's a difference but it's really not a big deal. I'm far more concerned about if they're going to send me .mp3's by mistake.

I'll try and summarize this the best I can:

I'm an online guitar teacher. I use wix. About a year ago I was getting 2 or 3 student inquiries and month but felt I could do better. I had ChatGPT 'audit' it and I implemented its recommendations, mostly page titles, content key words etc. And my inquiries died over night. I checked my Google Search Console and in the last 28 days I've 4 clicks and 290 impressions. I can't remember what I changed so I can't undo anything.

I have a Google Business page with lots of great reviews. I use to get a lot of inquiries from there too when I lived in the city...but then I moved to the sticks and stupidly changed my Google Business address...now I don't appear in the city anymore, I tried changing my Google Business profile to 'Online Only' so it wouldn't consider my new location but that hasn't seemed to help.

I don't have the money to hire an SEO agent and I have no idea who to 'trust' on YouTube. It can't be that hard to appear as a guitar teacher in my area can it!?

Would love any and all advice, TIA!

I get some work through Fiverr, not lots. I've had 24 orders, all with 5 stars except one which was 4.3 about a year ago. It knocked my rating down for a minute but then after a few more 5 star reviews it was back to a rating of 5.

I just finished another order and had a gushing 5 star review and immediately my rating is now 4.9 - I'm confused. Is the rating dependent on public review or the private survey Fiverr sends round after...or both? Could it be their survey answers dropped my rating?

TIA!
