Multi-Location SEO: How To Win Google & AI Search Visibility At Scale

Multi-location brands are currently reviewing their Google Search Console click traffic, comparing 2026 to 2025, and trying to convince themselves and key stakeholders that AI Overviews are responsible for a year-over-year drop in non-branded clicks. Today, visibility is distributed across a multitude of destinations, including features in Google Maps such as “Ask Maps,” AI Overviews, AI Mode, ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Apple Maps, and social search. The challenge for multi-location brands is that while more locations create more opportunities, they also create more complexity. This is why enterprise and franchise brands require a completely different approach than single-location businesses. Building on fundamentals, we’re going to explore how we leverage AI to improve our data, landing...

Why Your Business’s Google Visibility in 2026 Depends on AEO

In 2026, AI assistants will decide which local businesses get recommended, and which ones disappear. When a customer asks an AI assistant, “Who’s the best plumber near me?” does your business get named? If Google Gemini or ChatGPT had to recommend one local business today, would yours make the cut? Watch webinar on-demand to find out exactly what AI assistants look for and how to fix the gaps that are costing you customers. AI-powered search is no longer experimental. Consumers are already using tools like Google Gemini, ChatGPT, and Siri to choose who to call, book, and trust. Often without ever clicking on a website. Most small businesses are invisible to AI because their information is incomplete, inconsistent, or structured in ways AI cannot confidently use. That means lost calls, lo...

Simple Template for Self-Auditing Your AI Local Search Visibility

Just about every business owner wants to be more visible in the AI local results, but it’s easy to get analysis paralysis. Where and how do you even check your visibility? How should you size up competitors? What are realistic next steps, particularly next steps you don’t already plan to do? Most advice on AI local SEO is like other SEO advice, but even squishier. When it’s not the same candy in a new wrapper, it’s extremely broad, or it’s a fancy version of “I don’t know.” Nobody has the AI local results figured out, but that doesn’t mean you should be a spectator, and it sure doesn’t mean your competitors will just sit around and watch. AI is still a relatively small part of local search, but it may not be that way for long. You can and should plant the flag now. A starting point ...

New Strategies To Gain Local Search Visibility

This post was sponsored by DAC. The opinions expressed in this article are the sponsor’s own. The new reality of Search and brand discovery requires an Enterprise-to-Local strategy. Traditional keyword-driven search engine results pages (SERPs) are being disrupted by AI-driven experiences that anticipate, summarize, and even act on users’ needs. As generative AI tools like Google’s AI Overviews and platforms such as Perplexity become more prominent in the Search journey, the marketer’s task expands: It’s no longer just about ranking well on Google but being visible wherever decisions begin. For multilocation businesses, this presents both a challenge and an opportunity. AI is flattening the competitive playing field, restructuring what influences purchasing decisions, and automating former...

Using Local Business Partnerships And Collaborations To Build Authority And Visibility

All businesses, large or small, must establish a level of authority for the products and/or services they offer in the minds and hearts of their target audience if they expect to convince them to engage and buy. This universal marketing truth plays out daily for small businesses looking to capture the attention of local customers through a variety of local SEO strategies.
