More customers are starting to use AI tools instead of traditional search engines to find local businesses, services, and recommendations.
That means small businesses may need to think beyond traditional SEO.
A few things that seem to matter already:
- Clear and helpful website content
- Strong customer reviews
- Updated Google Business Profile
- Fast mobile-friendly websites
- FAQ-style content that answers real questions
- Consistent business info across the web
AI tools seem to favor businesses that are easy to understand and trusted online.
Has anyone here started optimizing for AI-powered search yet? Curious to hear what is working for others.
