Bangkok, Thailand – February 2, 2026 – Digital marketing strategist and automation expert Tony Hayes has published a comprehensive breakdown of 13 critical updates affecting businesses in 2026, with the most shocking revelation being Google’s undisclosed call recording and AI tone analysis system for Local Service Ads.
In his latest newsletter edition, Hayes exposes how Google is now recording phone calls from Local Service Ad campaigns and using artificial intelligence to analyze the tone and content of conversations. Businesses that verbally reject leads in an unfavorable tone may see their rankings dramatically decrease, even if they maintain perfect 5-star ratings.
“Most local businesses have no idea this is happening,” Hayes explains. “They’re being recorded, analyzed, and ranked based on AI interpretation of their phone conversations. This changes everything about how local service businesses need to operate.”
The newsletter, which curates and analyzes emerging marketing strategies before mainstream adoption, covers 13 major developments including:
The $70M Viral Video Strategy: Hayes breaks down how KJ Chen, founder of Macarron, pivoted from a failing AI novel platform to a $70 million app valuation using a specific 3-step viral video format: “Real Life Problem → Mini App Solution → Code to Download.” Chen achieved 300,000+ users by prioritizing absurd and funny user-generated content over polished corporate videos.
One-Prompt SaaS App Building: A revolutionary method to build complete, production-ready web applications using a single prompt—including user management, legal pages, dashboards, and API integrations—that can be cloned infinitely for different niches without burning platform credits.
Agentic Workflows Revolution: The shift from traditional linear automation (like Zapier) to self-healing “agentic” workflows that can fix their own code errors without human intervention, representing the biggest automation advancement in years.
The 2026 Local SEO Ranking Factors: Definitive survey data on what actually moves the needle for local businesses, including the critical importance of review recency over rating scores and how to get listed in AI chatbot “Best of” recommendations.
Hayes’s newsletter serves entrepreneurs, marketers, small business owners, and agency professionals who need practical implementation over theoretical knowledge. His methodology involves systematic social listening across Twitter, YouTube, and industry sources to identify opportunities before mainstream adoption.
“The person who ships first usually wins,” Hayes emphasizes, reflecting his core philosophy that speed of execution is the key competitive advantage in 2026’s rapidly evolving marketing landscape.
The newsletter also covers:
-
NotebookLM’s transformation into a research superpower with deep web search capabilities

Building high-value directory sites through curated enrichment instead of scraping
