Are AI search answers changing how you plan local SEO?
More people now read the AI answer on Google and never click any website. For local businesses the call still matters more than the click, but the game is shifting.
Has AI search changed anything in the way you work on local SEO, or is it business as usual for you?
For sure changed! Now it's not just about ranking on Google; it's about getting cited by AI.
Riya Joshi True, the click is no longer the only win, getting cited by AI matters just as much now.
Calls and map pack rankings are still king, but optimizing for zero-click AI answers is non-negotiable now.
Maha Ellis Well said. Calls still pay the bills, but ignoring AI answers is not an option anymore.
The game has changed a bit, but getting featured in local AI summaries actually boosts client calls
Amara Ruby That is the good part, visibility in AI summaries is actually turning into real calls.
Same end goal, but now we gotta make sure AI actually cites the business
Roma Jasinska Right, same end goal, only the road to it has changed a bit.
