## Описание

AI is changing the way people find local businesses — and most local marketers aren't talking about it yet.

Whether it's Google's AI Mode or ChatGPT, people are skipping traditional search and just asking AI to find them a plumber, a restaurant, a salon. And the businesses showing up in those answers? They have complete, optimized Google Business Profiles.

The ones that don't? They're invisible.

If you're offering local marketing services and you're not touching your clients' GBP listings, you're leaving a huge gap in their strategy — and yours.

### Segment 1 (00:00 - 01:00) []

Here's the reality. When someone wants to find a local business today, they often just don't know of the business's name off hand, so they don't go directly to a business's website. So, some of the time they're actually turning to a traditional Google search, but these days people are also turning to AI, whether that's Google's AI mode or ChatGPT or other AI tools, and just asking, "What's the best Italian restaurant near me? " Or, "Is there a plumber open right now in Houston, Texas? " And here's what's critical to understand. With AI search growing the way that it is, having a complete, optimized Google Business Profile is increasingly important for showing up in AI-generated local answers. Now, of course, this is still evolving, but the businesses that are optimized now are going to be in the best position as this continues to develop. So, if you have a client who has a Google Business Profile listing that is nonexistent, it is incomplete, it's outdated, it's unoptimized, they are going to get left out of those AI answers entirely. So, if you are a local marketing provider and you are focusing solely on the business's website or traditional SEO, and you're not touching their Google Business Profile, you're optimizing just one part of the equation while completely ignoring the one that both Google and AI are actively relying on to answer local search queries every day. So, this is no longer a nice to have.
