## Resource

Small-business websites have evolved from digital brochures into discovery engines - and now they need to become useful tools. Matt and Mike explain why foundational pages and SEO still matter, how AI Overviews are changing traffic, and how calculators, selectors, rankings, schedules, and other micro-apps can create credibility, repeat visits, and leads.
