Get Local Leads AI

📊You probably know where your business ranks on Google.👍

But do you know who AI recommends? 👀

Word of mouth and referrals are still incredibly important. They always will be.

But in 2026, people are also asking AI the same question they used to ask a friend, neighbor, or coworker.👇

“Who should I choose?”

They’re asking AI tools like ChatGPT, Google AI, etc., as if AI is the best friend in their pocket that already knows everything about them… 👇

“Who is the best [service] company near me?”

And AI is recommending businesses by name.

The question is… Is yours one of them?❓

That’s what our AI Recommendations Gap Report uncovers.

We test the services you provide across the markets you serve and multiple major AI platforms to see where your company is being recommended, where it’s missing, and which competitors are showing up instead.

We uncover the issues and help you overcome them.

When customers ask AI who to hire, does your business make the list?❓

🚨 Facebook just gave businesses a valuable reminder. 😑

Business pages are now seeing limits on how many posts can include external links without upgrading.

Social is incredibly valuable for attention, relationships, trust, and discovery.

But there’s a difference between building an audience on a platform and controlling access to that audience.

Platforms, Algorithms, Reach, and Search can change the rules without notice.

AI changed how customers decide which businesses make the shortlist.

Businesses need more than one path to the customer.

🏠 Your website should be the home base you control.

📊 Your tracking should tell you what is actually producing leads and revenue.

📧 Your CRM, email, calls, and customer data help turn attention into relationships you can continue building.

🔎 And your business needs consistent, trustworthy signals across your website, Google, reviews, directories, social profiles, and the places AI looks when deciding who to recommend.

Use every platform you can. Depend on none of them.

How exposed would your business be if one platform changed the rules tomorrow❓

🚨This dropped today… And local business owners should be paying attention.👀

Search Engine Journal just published a piece on AI assistants choosing which local businesses customers consider.

📊One number stood out… 97%.

That’s how often Google AI Overviews appeared in the hybrid-intent searches tested, the searches where people are researching a problem and hiring a company to fix it.

The buying decision is moving upstream.

Clicking through 10 websites and comparing everybody is a dated search process.

Customers ask AI tools like ChatGPT and Google AI Overviews… AI is narrowing the list…

And if your business isn’t on it, your competitors are getting that opportunity.

📢Your website tells AI who you are.

🔍The rest of the internet helps determine whether that story holds up.

New research found community-generated sources made up 17.1% of third-party domains cited in the SaaS-related AI answers studied, more than 4X the share of publishers‼️

That doesn’t make your website less important.

It makes consistency more important.

Your website is the foundation... Reviews, business profiles, directories, community conversations, and third-party mentions can either reinforce what it says or create mixed signals.

And your competitor doesn’t have to be better…

They just have to make it easier for AI to understand, trust, and recommend them. 👀

That’s why strong websites, SEO, AEO, GEO, and AI Visibility work together.

Get found. Get recommended. Get Local Leads.

📈AI-referred traffic just jumped 197% year over year.🚀

🤔You can’t ignore the fact that customers use AI to find businesses.

The numbers don’t lie. 🤷‍♂️

Shopify reported that AI-referred traffic grew 197%‼️

Yes, the data is ecommerce.

AI isn’t just answering questions anymore. It’s influencing where people go next.

⏰This shift didn’t wait for everyone to believe in it.

And if AI doesn’t clearly understand, trust, and recommend your business, that growing traffic isn’t disappearing...

It’s going to your competitors who are better prepared.

The businesses getting this right now are building an advantage while others are still debating whether it matters. 👀

🧐Imagine discovering Google and AI tools warning customers about bad reviews that AREN’T EVEN YOURS.😡

That’s happening‼️

Business Insider recently reported cases where Google AI Overviews confused businesses with other companies, attached unrelated complaints to them, and even displayed outdated information.

This is one of many reasons why AI Visibility goes way beyond rankings.

Your website, Google presence, reviews, directories, service pages, and third-party signals all help AI understand who you are, what you do, and why it should trust you.

Strong SEO, AEO, and GEO help make those signals clearer and more consistent.

Because getting found is only step one.

Get found. Get recommended. Get Local Leads.

🤯AI-referred traffic converted 61% better than paid search in new data released TODAY‼️

LLM-referred traffic converted at 20%, making it the highest-converting tactic in the dataset.

By the time someone clicks through from AI, a lot of the research is done. AI has helped compare the options, answer questions, and shape the decision.

However, you can’t convert AI-referred traffic if AI is recommending your competitors down the road instead of you.

If a customer asked AI tools like ChatGPT and Google AI Overviews who to hire in your area today, would your business make the recommendation❓
