So, is the tool good, or did marketing just fool you?
Gemini: it's actually a good tool. I actually use it for my emails, always cleaning up my emails, and for image generation.
Localo: it's a good tool to use, especially if you're a local business. It'll give you some easy tasks to do to be able to rank better.
Jasper: bad tool. It produces generic articles that are not going to work on local search whatsoever.
