Congratulations to the CEO and owner of GoBeRewarded, Aaron Gobidas, for receiving the 40 under 40 award from the Carlsbad Chamber of Commerce. The award is designed to recognize emerging leaders who are being highlighted as the leaders of the future who are already making a major impact in our community today.  This leadership comes from all walks of life including business, government, education, public safety, nonprofits, and more.


Gobidas was recognized as a leader among 40 fellow business leaders in the community making a difference in our community.  According to the Carlsbad Chamber of Commerce, “these leaders are the building blocks of a thriving community that is much brighter with them in it.”


After maintaining a board seat on the Vista Chamber of Commerce and joining thirteen other local chambers, Gobidas chose to apply for the award.  “Community involvement has been a crucial part of our success here at the agency.  I’m grateful for the opportunity to be a part of the Chamber and be recognized for my involvement.  Our continued success is a direct result of the Chamber’s thriving memberships, events, and networking.  I hope to continue to be a part of the Carlsbad Chamber community for many years to come,” says Gobidas, a recent recipient of the Vista Chamber of Commerce 40 under 40 award.  


From the beginning, GoBeRewarded has differentiated itself from other marketing firms in three ways: local services, vertical integration, and a simplified business approach.


We serve the local San Diego County area with an emphasis on making an impact and difference in our community.  We offer all of our services in-house.  Everything is local and all of our work is produced here at the agency.  We don’t outsource our talent and we control the work we create.  


Our services are vertically integrated, meaning we continue to make and produce everything within the company.  GoBeRewarded has continued to experience growth from within rather than outsourcing.   This allows us to maintain a quality product that is consistent.


Services are offered in “buffet” style packages with four options.  This means we don’t charge extra for services a client may or may not realize they need.  


Our pricing is flat and designed around what small businesses need to be successful.  The packages aren’t designed around the agency’s success, but in turn, will lead to a fruitful marketing campaign for organizations to thrive.

This week, while helping a Vista nail salon improve their SEO, something unusual caught our attention. In the Google Map Pack, under a listing of local nail salons, a new option appeared: “Have AI check prices.” Naturally, we clicked it.

ChatGPT has transformed how we search for information , from writing help to answering complex questions. It’s fast, conversational, and remarkably capable at understanding what we mean even when we’re vague. But when it comes to finding local businesses or services , ChatGPT isn’t ready to replace Google Maps, Yelp, or other local search tools just yet. Here’s why ChatGPT is powerful but not perfect when it comes to local business discovery.
