Webinar: Google On What’s Next In AI Search + 5 Local Marketing Strategy Fixes https://www.searchenginejournal.com/webinar-lp-google-on-whats-next-in-ai-search-5-local-marketing-strategy-fixes/?itm source=ap&itm medium=website&itm campaign=webinar-uberall-092426&itm content=seo Google’s AI now compares options, makes a decision, and books the appointment, often without a single visit to your website. For a multi-location brand, that changes what a local SEO strategy has to deliver. Ranking in the map pack is no longer the finish line. The test is whether AI Overviews and Gemini know enough about each location to recommend it, and whether the details they read are right. Why Local Signals Decide Who Gets Recommended In Google’s Next AI Updates Google’s AI search features already reach billions of people every month, yet 68% of brands are missing from AI recommendations altogether. AI answers are assembled from a specific set of local signals Google can read, and most brands are only maintaining some of them. When those signals conflict or go stale at even a handful of locations, the competitor with cleaner data gets the recommendation. Google’s upcoming AI search updates, which its own team will preview in this session, raise the bar on those signals again, and the 5 fixes are matched to each change.
