Top Digital Marketing Trends Local Businesses Can’t Ignore in May 2025 

Powered by JET Media – Long Island’s Leading Digital Growth Partner 
As we head into Q2, May 2025 brings a wave of fresh digital marketing opportunities—and if you’re a local business on Long Island, now is the time to take action. Whether you’re a car dealership, real estate brokerage, restaurant, or home service brand, staying ahead of digital trends can make or break your lead flow. 

At JET Media, we help Long Island businesses scale with cutting-edge digital strategies, creative content, and data-backed campaigns that convert. Let’s dive into the must-know trends for this month. 

1. Google AI Search & SEO in 2025 

Search has changed—AI-driven results are now dominating the top of the funnel. That means your SEO strategy needs to evolve beyond keywords and focus on E-E-A-T (Experience, Expertise, Authoritativeness, Trust). 

What You Need: 

● Long-form blog content with local relevance 

● First-hand experience in your service area 

● Consistent Google Business Profile updates

2. Hyperlocal Paid Ads Are Outperforming National Campaigns 

Thanks to smarter geofencing and audience targeting, local paid ads are converting at 2–3x the rate of generic national ads. 

What’s Working in May: 

● Meta Ads (Facebook & Instagram) for radius-based awareness 

● Google Search Ads for local buyer intent 

● YouTube Shorts & OTT video ads for local storytelling 

We’re currently managing campaigns for Long Island clients seeing $8–$12 CPLs in traditionally competitive verticals. 

3. Short-Form Video Still Dominates 

Short-form video is still the #1 content format across Instagram Reels, TikTok, and YouTube Shorts. But in 2025, consumers want more than just trends—they want trust, personality, and real value. 

JET Media offers: 

● Monthly branded content shoots 

● Testimonial-style ads 

● TikTok and Reels management packages
