Dealing with the _"Help me with my website"_ question...
When people find out you're a Googler they often ask _"can you help me with my site"_? I mostly give some simple advice and leave it at that. This time is different.
But first.. a story.
My wife, Julie, fears dentists due to unfortunate childhood events. While on vacation she had some gum bleeding. Using Google Search I found Maisy, an oral surgeon, and her husband, Amir, an anesthesiologist. Together they did the impossible and got Julie the dental care she needed. She went above and beyond in so many ways.
Alas, there were complications on discharge. Despite a blood test only 10 days earlier her levels had dropped really low. Maisy and I talked a lot while we waited for the transfusion to complete in the ER. We spoke about how she and her husband started their practice and how they wanted to grow it. Many questions about online marketing came up. I said I would see what I could do. After everything I'd walk over glass for Maisy.
So....
*What's the best way to help?* I'm no expert, but I am acquainted with some non-google consultants I could engage. Looking for any advice or referrals, especially for people that deal with local.
Oh and if you need a dentist, it's well worth the trip. Great people, dog friendly, pleasant surroundings, and the most advanced dental technology.

What will it take to change this narrative:
_There are companies that do not get social and they never will. Apple’s one of them, Google is the other: they’ve failed with Google+. When your culture is engineering-focused, you do not understand social. Social is a very emotional experience. Engineers are not so much, in a lot of cases,_
It won't be facts, since any numbers we release are instantly dismissed. My guess is that we're going to have to move influentials over, one-by-one until the zeitgeist changes. People only see what's in their bubble, and Google's social efforts don't penetrate.... yet.

IMO we need *Public* to be different from *Publicized*. There are people that want stuff to be out there, but not promoted. Give the user a choice here..
We've been through this hell many times. User thinks their audience is small. We blow it up big time:
- Google+ Shares of Youtube videos
- Photos on a Map
- next?
I've told this story many times, but when I was at hi5 we analyzed why people deleted their accounts. A big percentage were people with photos that appeared in the hi5 version of 'What's Hot'.

*This is how Googlebot fetched the page*
So my #perfcrastination with SEO got the shout out, so I guess I should tell you more... I learned a few things about driving search traffic at some startups and at LinkedIn which really mastered the practice. When Authorship was unlaunched I noticed that we did quite poorly in this area.
So I got our sites verified on Google Webmaster tools and started going through a few checklists. Bushels of low hanging fruit. Many issues have been fixed, but there are many more to go. I'm collecting resources on this sites page:
https://sites.google.com/a/google.com/oz/oz-documentation/seo
And here's a cover bug that lists many of the problems found:
https://b2.corp.google.com/issues/17438991
Also if you're interested in these issues I can add you to the webmaster tools sites. You can see what people are searching for and what your pages look like to Googlebot. And hopefully it's not like the /explore page (which is fixed in http://cr/75340820)

*One simple trick that simplifies JS Loading!*
@103532563190745371016 has delved deep into script loading and found that it's better to just use a regular script tag to load many resources. The key is to use the async and defer attributes.
It turns out that preload scanners work better than the gobs of script-tag-injecting js code, even on older mobile browsers.
If you're targeting IE9 and above you can also use the _onload_ attribute on your script tag to trigger execution when the script is async loaded.
Work is ongoing to update our docs and existing uses in google3.

Just had to deal with medical records for my dog's chemo treatments. Very suboptimal. I was able to get PDFs (instead of fax) and some digital x-rays.
