More customers are asking ChatGPT and Google AI Overviews for local recommendations. Here's what that means for you.
AI search still relies heavily on your Google Business Profile, website content, and reviews to know your business exists and what you offer.
Websites with clean structured data (schema) and clear service/location pages are easier for AI tools to understand and recommend.
AI recommendations lean on review volume and recency — the same signals that drive traditional local search rankings.
A real website with local SEO foundations, plus an actively managed Google Business Profile, keeps you visible whether the customer is searching, asking Google, or asking AI.
