From Yellow Pages to AI Search: Scaling Local Digital Marketing

In this episode of the BraindAI Podcast, Lenka sits down with Karl Morris, founder of Goop Digital, to explore how local SEO, AI, and client-centric service models are reshaping digital marketing for regional businesses. Karl shares the origin story behind Goop Digital — born from the early realisation that the internet would replace traditional directories like the Yellow Pages — and how that insight evolved into building one of Australia’s leading digital marketing agencies serving nearly 800 clients. The conversation dives into why local SEO still dominates small-business growth, how AI search is changing visibility online, and why agencies must shift from client acquisition to client value maximisation. Karl also explains Goop’s no-lock-in philosophy, the power of remarketing, and how AI automation is transforming agency operations and scaling.
