Local Search Visibility: AI, Voice Assistants, and Google Business Profile Strategies
Check your Google Business Profile fields and ensure consistency across platforms to improve local search visibility.
Register for the webinar to learn actionable tactics for local SEO and AI visibility.
Summary
Local search visibility has become more complex as customers now use Google Maps, voice assistants, Yelp, Facebook reviews, and AI tools like ChatGPT to find businesses before visiting a website.
The webinar explains that ranking on Google alone is no longer enough; businesses must keep their Google Business Profile accurate, consistent, and optimized across every platform a nearby customer might use. It covers how AI‑generated search results pull from a different set of signals than traditional rankings, and why many small‑business owners are unaware of those signals. The session also highlights the biggest Google Business Profile fields that influence local rankings today.
Attendees will learn how to build a review‑generation habit that boosts customer trust and online visibility. They will also see how to perform a quick local SEO audit to identify the highest‑impact fixes tailored to their specific business. The webinar is hosted by Thryv’s small‑business trainers, who have worked directly with owners and have drawn over 1,000 registrants in previous sessions. The goal is to give owners practical steps they can implement even with limited time and resources.
