Carrasco Consulting

I have to say thank you. Saturday, we had close to 100 people walk through the doors of the Stanislaus County Veterans Service Center for our ribbon cutting, book signing, and live training event.

I was nervous going in.
I am not going to pretend otherwise.
My anxiety was real that morning.

Then the room filled up.

Friends. Family. Clients. Colleagues.
Modesto Chamber of Commerce.
Stanislaus Latino Chamber of Commerce.
Modesto Sunrise Rotary.
American Veterans First.
Vice Mayor of Modesto
State Assemblyman Juan Alanis's Office

People I did not even know were coming,
showing up.

We signed a lot of books.

We had so many people ask for pictures and just pour love into us today.

That is not something I take lightly.

To the Stanislaus County Veterans Service Center, thank you for opening Rooms 114 and 115 to us.

We needed every square foot of that space.

My heart is full tonight.

I believe we are on the right path.

I believe this work matters.

Saturday was the confirmation I needed.

We are just getting started.
Thank you. All of you.

Tomorrow is a big morning and I want you there.
We are starting with two ribbon cuttings at 11am at the Stanislaus Veterans Center on Coffee Road.

The Modesto Chamber of Commerce and the Latino Chamber of Commerce are both showing up to celebrate the official launch of Carrasco Consulting Services.

This community is where I started sixteen years ago. Having both chambers present for this moment means everything.

Then at noon and again at 1:30 I am running two live training sessions on the 5 Types of Consumers framework.

Here is what I want you to understand about these trainings. There is a direct roadmap inside this book that tells you exactly how to position your business so the right people find you, trust you, and choose you.

Not some people. The right people.

Every business has customers walking past them right now who would have said yes, if they had known how to speak to them correctly.

That is what we fix tomorrow.

If you are in Modesto come. Bring a business owner who has been stuck. Bring someone from your team. Books will be available and I will sign every copy.

See you there.

Real story from this week.
A client launched his consulting business and got his Google Business Profile verified.

Google now requires video verification for new accounts. It took patience but he got it done.

Then I checked his Yelp page. Yelp had already created one automatically.

I told him to go to Biz.Yelp.com and claim it.

He came back and said it was handled.
I looked. It was not handled.

When I pushed back he said, and I quote "Oops. That was my personal Yelp page."

We laughed. He went back.

Found the business page. Claimed it correctly.
Here is the thing.

This happens more than you think.

In January Apple and Google signed a one billion dollar annual agreement. Google Gemini now powers Siri. Yelp feeds Apple Maps directly.

AI is now answering when your potential customers ask their phone who to call.

AI only recommends what it can verify.
If your profiles are inconsistent, incomplete, or unclaimed, that customer goes somewhere else.

Today. Not eventually. Today.

Get verified. Claim your pages.

Build on concrete not sand.

My book 5 Types of Consumers, Chapter 6 specifically, tells you exactly how to set this up correctly. Available on Amazon now.

Drop a comment if you want the direct link to claim your Yelp business page. Happy to help.

Let me ask you something.
When was the last time you launched something, a campaign, an event, a new program, without a real plan behind it?

Most of us do it more than we want to admit.

We get excited about an idea and go straight to action. When the results are inconsistent we assume we need to work harder.

That is not the problem.
The problem is ex*****on without infrastructure.

I spent over ten years in the United States Navy maintaining billion-dollar communication systems.

The one thing that was non-negotiable was this. You never execute without a framework in place first.

That framework is what I call P.I.E.R. Thinking.

Plan. Implement. Execute. Review.
It is Chapter One of my book
5 Types of Consumers for a reason.

Everything else builds on top of it.

If this resonates, drop a comment below.

I would love to hear where you are getting stuck in the sequence.

Nonprofit leaders in Modesto.

The work you do is real.

This community feels it every single day.

I have watched many of you pour your lives into organizations that genuinely change people's circumstances.

But something changed in January that most nonprofit leaders have not heard about yet.

Apple and Google signed a one billion dollar annual agreement. Google Gemini is now the AI engine powering Apple Siri.

The full conversational rollout hits this September.

That means AI is now the first answer when someone asks where to volunteer, which event to attend, or which nonprofit is doing real work locally.

AI only recommends organizations it can verify online.The reputation you built in person over the last twenty years does not automatically show up in that recommendation. Your digital presence has to reflect it.

This Thursday morning at 7am I am presenting at Modesto Sunrise Rotary on how the 5 Types of Consumers framework applies directly to nonprofits, donors, volunteers, patrons, and the people you serve.

What it costs every day the gap stays open.

Breakfast is on me. Space is limited. Comment below or send me a message and I will get you the details.

Also, this Saturday at 11am I am hosting my first book signing and Modesto Chamber of Commerce ribbon cutting at the Stanislaus Veterans Center on Coffee Road, sponsored by American Veterans First in Riverbank.

Would love to see familiar faces there.

Quick question for every business owner in my network.

When did you last Google your own business and actually look at what came up? Not your website. Your digital property.

The reviews, the categories, the photos, the listings that Google, Apple, and Amazon are pulling from right now to decide if you are worth recommending to someone who is searching.

In 2026, voice search is 25 to 40% of all search activity according to Google Gemini. People are not clicking anymore.

They are asking. And AI is answering.

If your digital property is not structured and in alignment, those platforms are sending your customers somewhere else.

I have spent 16 years learning exactly how this works. In December I released my first book, 5 Types of Consumers, on Amazon. Three months in, we are sitting at over 100 reviews and a 4.8 star rating.

The number one reason good businesses lose to average ones has nothing to do with price. It has everything to do with trust signals.

Most businesses are invisible and have no idea.
April 11th I am doing my first book signing at the Stanislaus Veterans Center in Modesto, along with two live training sessions. If you are a business owner, a veteran entrepreneur, or you know someone who needs to hear this, come through.
Drop a comment or message me directly. I will get you the details.
