I mean they’re not wrong. Nobody in business gives a crap about anyone other than Google for reviews and correct business info. If you don’t show up in Google, you may as well not exist.

I don't know about that, I run an electrical contracting business with zero listings on Google/Yelp/etc or any real advertising for that matter, and I do just fine via word of mouth.

Very high demand trade. Same as roofing, plumbing. Edge case.
