Two Channels, One Strategy

Local Search Has Changed Forever

Customers find local businesses in two very different ways now. You need to win at both.

📍
Traditional Local Search

Google Maps 3-Pack

When someone searches "boutique near me" or "coffee shop downtown," Google shows a map with 3 results. Being in that 3-pack is the single highest-ROI real estate in local marketing. 76% of local searches result in a visit within 24 hours.

Key ranking signals we optimize:

  • GBP category and attribute completeness
  • Review count, velocity, and sentiment
  • Citation consistency across directories
  • Photo freshness and engagement
  • Posts and Q&A activity signals
🤖
Next-Gen AI Search

AI-Powered Recommendations

Google's AI Overview, ChatGPT, and Gemini increasingly answer "what's a good [type of store] near me?" with specific business recommendations. This is the fastest-growing local discovery channel — and almost nobody is optimizing for it yet.

AI recommendation factors we target:

  • Structured data (Schema.org LocalBusiness)
  • GBP description written for AI parsing
  • Review language and topic diversity
  • Knowledge panel completeness
  • Website entity signals alignment

Local SEO Questions

Most clients see measurable improvement in Maps rankings within 30–60 days for low-competition markets. More competitive areas typically show significant movement at 60–90 days. AI recommendation visibility often improves faster, within 30 days.
A website significantly strengthens local SEO, but GBP optimization alone (without a website) still produces meaningful results. If you have a Shopify store, your website is already there — we just align its signals.
It's a proprietary tool we built that scans search result positions across hundreds of local query variations for your business category. It gives us a baseline position map before we start, and we re-run it monthly to track movement.

Traditional SEO targets Google's ranking algorithm. AI optimization targets the language model's understanding of your business — which means structured data, entity authority, review content quality, and GBP description language specifically designed to be parsed and surfaced by AI systems.
